Parameter
Specification
Type
Adjustable Voltage Regulator
Function
Regulates a DC input voltage to a user-defined, stable DC output voltage.
Output Voltage Range
Adjustable: 1.25V to 37V (depending on input voltage)
Output Current
Up to 1.5A (typical)
Input Voltage Range
Typically, the input voltage needs to be a few volts higher than the desired output voltage (VI - VO ≥ minimum dropout voltage).
