DE-SWADJ 3A Adjustable Voltage Regulator
General Description
The DE-SWADJ 3 is designed to be the
easiest possible way to utilize the benefits of
switch-mode power when you need an
unusual or easily changed voltage. The DESWADJ family is pin-compatible with the
common 78XX family of linear voltage
regulators, and can step down to 3v to 13v
with no external circuitry required. It has
integrated decoupling capacitors, so external
capacitors are not generally necessary.
The DE-SWADJ 3 operates over a wide input
voltage range, from 5v to 35v, at up to three
amps of continuous output current. Maximum
power output is 25W. Efficiencies are up to
96% (Figure 2). Ripple is less than 1% of
output.
The DE-SWADJ 3 works on a breadboard,
making it an ideal solution for prototyping and
one-off circuits.
Features
Drop-in replacement for any of the LM78XX
regulators
Outputs any voltage between 3v and 13v
Adjustment is by a 25-turn potentiometer, making
it easy to dial in exactly the right output
5 to 35V input voltage
Up to 25W output power
3A continuous output current2
Efficiency up to 96%
Integrated bypass capacitors
Integrated heat sink
Weighs only 10g

Use
Connect your DE-SWADJ 3 to a power supply or battery and a voltmeter. Turn the worm gear
attached to the potentiometer (labeled Adjust) clockwise to reduce output voltage and
counterclockwise to increase it. Be sure to adjust to the desired output voltage before attaching the
DE-SWADJ 3 to your application!
Overcurrent/overtemperature behavior
If the current limit has been considerably exceeded or if the device is overheated the product will
gradually reduce the output voltage in an attempt to reduce the load on the device. Once the extra
load is removed or the temperature is brought down, the desired output voltage will be restored. It is
unlikely that you will destroy the regulator by exceeding the current/temperature ratings but we still
recommend practicing good engineering techniques and do not overload the device beyond the
recommended operating parameters.
Additional notes
DE-SWADJ 3 uses a 25 turn worm gear driven potentiometer and cannot wiggle loose. Do not
apply glue to the voltage adjustment pot.
For best performance, mount DE-SWADJ 3 in an open space with some air flowing across it to
keep it cool.
