These modules provide precisely regulated voltage programmable via external resistor from 0.75 Vdc to 3.63 Vdc over a wide range of input voltage (2.4 Vdc - 5.5 Vdc). These modules have a sequencing feature that enables designers to implement various types of output voltage sequencing when powering multiple voltages on a board. Their open-frame construction and small footprint enable designers to develop cost and space-efficient solutions. Standard features include remote ON/OFF, programmable output voltage and over current protection. Part Selection Output Voltage 0.75 V -3.63 V 1 Input Voltage Max. Output Current Max.

These modules use a buck topology, so the output voltages must be 0.8 V less than the input voltage. 2. All part numbers above indicate RoHS 6. Change the second letter "R" to "7" for RoHS 5 part numbers. 3. Add “G” to the end of the Model Number to indicate Tray Packaging.

VRBC-16F2Ax series of modules include a sequencing feature that enables users to implement various types of output voltage sequencing in their applications. This is accomplished via an additional sequencing pin. When the sequencing feature is not used, tie the SEQ pin to Vin or leave the SEQ pin floating.
