AUK products available from Maritex
The AUK range available from Maritex includes semiconductors for voltage stabilization and basic analog and power-supply circuitry.
Available product groups include:
- Linear voltage regulators.
- Through-hole voltage regulators.
- Selected discrete semiconductor devices.
One example available from Maritex is the AUK S7905PI, a -5 V fixed linear regulator rated up to 1 A in a TO220F-3L package.
When selecting a linear regulator, designers should consider input and output voltage, maximum current, dropout voltage, power dissipation and the thermal requirements of the complete circuit.
