Designed to deliver 5V, 8V, or 12V regulated outputs from nominal battery supplies of 12V or 24V, these regulator transistors are well-suited for powering vehicle electronics. These devices can tolerate battery voltage spikes up to 60V, making possible applications that cannot use standard linear regulators. By monolithically integrating a transistor, Zener diode, and resistor into a SOT23 package, these regulator transistors reduce component count, which minimizes PCB area and increases system reliability by reducing PCB interconnect. The ZXTR2105FQ is targeted at applications that require a 5V ±5% regulated supply from a 12V battery, e.g., for a stable MCU supply within the required 4.7V to 5.3V supply range. The ZXTR2112FQ is aimed at cars and trucks that have 24V batteries but need a 12V ±10% supply for applications such as the VCC supply for gate driver ICs. All these regulator transistors deliver an output current up to 15mA. The 60V maximum input rating of all these regulators ensures sufficient headroom in the event of transient over-voltage conditions, while their line and load regulation safeguards continuous operation by ensuring transient voltage drops cannot cause latch-up, further contributing to system reliability. The automotive-qualified ZXTR21xxFQ devices provide a highly reliable and compact solution to common voltage regulator requirements in vehicle electronics and are priced at $0.15 in 10k quantities.

diagnostic equipment, medical monitoring devices, and dental applications. All of the new VMS series provide output voltage options from 12 to 58 Vdc, feature wide universal input voltage ranges from 80 to 264 Vac, and offer no-load power consumption as low as 0.5 W. The 180 W to 550 W models also carry an input to output isolation of 4200 Vac with leakage current ratings as low as 0.3 mA at 230 Vac. Operating temperatures range at full load from -40 up to +50°C with forced air cooling, derating to 50% load at +70°C. Additional features include protections for over voltage, over current, and short circuit, power factor correction, and a 12 Vdc/500 mA fan output. These medical power supplies further meet EN 55011 Class B limits for conducted and radiated emissions and achieve an MTBF of 3.37 million hours, calculated per Telcordia SR-332 Issue 3. The VMS series are available immediately with prices starting at $108.94 per unit at 25 pieces through distribution. Please contact CUI for OEM pricing.
