R-5xxxPA_DA
The R-5xxxA series is a high performance 1.2V to 5.5V, 2Amp to 5Amp, 12-Pin SIP (single in-line
package) integrated switching regulator (ISR). The synchronous - rectified design yields excellent
efficiencies up to 96%. Short circuit protection reduces the short circuit input current to under 50mA.
Autosense function compensates for any losses in long circuit loops.

) follows the equation:
P

=
Iout=
Iout x Vout x (1-Eff
