## Description

The Pololu D24V50F5 is a high-efficiency step-down (buck) voltage regulator that converts input voltages up to 38V down to a fixed 5V output. With a typical maximum output current of 5A and efficiency between 85% and 95%, it far outperforms linear regulators — especially when the input-to-output voltage difference is large. At light loads, the switching frequency automatically adjusts to maintain high efficiency, with a typical no-load quiescent current under 1 mA. The ENABLE pin can further reduce quiescent current to approximately 10–20 µA per volt on VIN for low-power sleep states. Key Features Output Voltage – Fixed 5V with 4% accuracy Input Voltage Range – (5V + dropout voltage) to 38V Maximum Output Current – Typically 5A (varies with input voltage and conditions) Efficiency – 85% to 95% typical, with automatic frequency adjustment at light loads Switching Frequency – Approximately 600 kHz (drops at light loads for efficiency) Quiescent Current – Under 1 mA (no load); reducible via ENABLE pin Built-in Protection – Reverse-voltage, over-current, thermal shutdown, soft-start, and under-voltage lockout ENABLE Pin – Drive low (under 0.6V) to enter low-power sleep state Mounting – Two 0.086″ holes for #2 or M2 screws Pin Spacing – 0.1″ (2.54mm), compatible with breadboards and standard connectors Dimensions – 17.8 × 20.3 × 8.8mm (0.7″ × 0.8″ × 0.35″) Connections VIN – Input voltage (4.5V to 38V; effective minimum is VOUT + dropout voltage) VOUT – Regulated 5V output GND – Ground (2 pins) EN – Enable pin (pulled high by default via 100 kΩ resistor; leave disconnected if not needed) Ideal For Battery-powered projects requiring regulated 5V Robotics and motor driver power supplies Raspberry Pi and single-board computer power from higher-voltage sources Any application needing efficient voltage step-down Package Contents 1× D24V50F5 step-down voltage regulator 1× 5-pin straight male header strip 1× 5-pin right-angle male header strip
