Description

The Pololu step-up/step-down voltage regulator S7V8A is a switching regulator (also called a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) or DC-to-DC converter) that uses a buck-boost topology. It takes an input voltage from 2.7 V to 11.8 V and increases or decreases the voltage to a user-adjustable output between 2.5 V and 8 V with a typical efficiency of over 90%. The input voltage can be higher than, lower than, or equal to the set output voltage, and the voltage is regulated to achieve the set output voltage.
This flexibility in input voltage is especially well-suited for battery-powered applications in which the battery voltage begins above the desired output voltage and drops below the target as the battery discharges. Without the typical restriction on the battery voltage staying above the required voltage throughout its life, new battery packs and form factors can be considered. For example:
  • A 4-cell battery holder, which might have a 6 V output with fresh alkalines or a 4.0 V output with partially discharged NiMH cells, can be used with this regulator to power a 5 V circuit.
  • A single lithium-polymer cell can run a 3.3 V device through its whole discharge cycle.
  • A disposable 9 V battery powering a 5 V circuit can be discharged to under 3 V instead of cutting out at 6 V, as with typical linear or step-down regulators.
In typical applications, this regulator can deliver up to 1 A continuous when the input voltage is higher than the output voltage (stepping down). When the input voltage is lower than the output voltage (stepping up), the available current decreases as the difference between the voltages increases; please see the graphs at the bottom of this page for a more detailed characterization. The regulator has short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown prevents damage from overheating; the board does not have reverse-voltage protection.
For a smaller, fixed 5 V version of this regulator, consider our step-up/step-down voltage regulator S7V7F5. We also have a SEPIC-topology step-up/step-down voltage regulator S8V3A available with slightly larger input and output ranges, but with much lower efficiencies.
Features:
  • input voltage: 2.7 V to 11.8 V
  • output voltage adjustable from 2.5 V to 8 V
  • typical continuous output current: 500 mA to 1 A across most combinations of input and output voltages (Actual continuous output current depends on input and output voltages. See Typical Efficiency and Output Current section below for details.)
  • power-saving feature maintains high efficiency at low currents (quiescent current is less than 0.3 mA)
  • integrated over-temperature and short-circuit protection
  • small size: 0.45? × 0.65? × 0.1? (11 × 17 × 3 mm)
Dimensions:
  • Size: 0.45? × 0.65? × 0.1?
  • Weight: 0.6 g1
Specifications:
  • Minimum operating voltage: 2.7 V
  • Maximum operating voltage: 11.8 V
  • Maximum output current: 1 A2
  • Minimum output voltage: 2.5 V
  • Maximum output voltage: 8 V
  • Reverse voltage protection?: N
  • Maximum quiescent current: 0.3 mA3
Notes:
  • 1. Without included optional headers.
  • 2. When stepping down; current available when stepping up depends on input and output voltages (over 500 mA in most configurations).
  • 3. While enabled (SHDN = HIGH) with no load. Actual quiescent current depends on input and output voltages.
