S-13R1C1J-N4T1U3

The S-13R1C1J-N4T1U3 is a type of integrated circuit (IC) from the category of linear voltage regulators, specifically designated as a “positive voltage regulator” and manufactured by Sweden-based Supertex general electronics Corp. It is an on-chip device with 3-terminal configuration and include internal current limitation and thermal overload protection for applications like automotive, consumer electronics, LED drivers, etc. It is part of a wider range of products from Supertex Inc. and is best viewed as a family of regulators commonly referred to as the S13 Series.

Features & Benefits

The S-13R1C1J-N4T1U3 offers several advantages over other voltage regulator solutions. The key selling points include increased system efficiency and power handling, ease of use and compatible footprints, 24V absolute maximum voltage rating, integrated over-voltage protection, lower Idle Current requirements and superior quality. The S13 series of devices are also designed to be small, compact and low-profile form factor devices with a wide temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C making them ideal for a variety of applications.

The S13 series are also designed with a strong emphasis on safety, which is especially crucial for automotive applications. They are rated for short-circuit protection so that the device will automatically shut down in the event of an over-current or short-circuit. This can be very helpful in cases where the device is used in high-risk scenarios such as with high-voltage batteries or systems under pressure.

Application Fields

The S-13R1C1J-N4T1U3 is primarily designed for automotive, consumer electronics, LED drivers, and power supply applications. In automotive applications the device is often used for illuminating turn signals and brake lights, airbag controllers and safety systems, as well as for controlling auxiliary 12V and 24V circuits. In consumer electronics, this regulator IC can be used for powering LCD screens, digital audio players, game controllers, security systems, and more. The S-13R1C1J-N4T1U3\'s 3-terminal design also makes it a great choice for LED drivers and power supply applications, as its efficient power handling, low current requirements and wide voltage rating can greatly reduce the number of components needed for those systems.

Working Principle

The working principle of the S-13R1C1J-N4T1U3 is relatively simple. The device is essentially a three-terminal variable voltage regulator. The output voltage is regulated through a feedback circuit that compares the regulated voltage to an internal reference. The input voltage is then adjusted up or down depending on the comparison. The S-13R1C1J-N4T1U3 also includes current limiting and thermal overload protection that will automatically shut the device down in the event of an over-current or over-temperature condition.

The S-13R1C1J-N4T1U3 is a powerful and reliable solution for a wide range of applications and offers many benefits over alternative solutions. Its low current requirements, wide voltage range, and high power handling make it well suited for automotive, consumer electronics, LED drivers, and power supply applications. With its integrated safety features, it is also a safe, high-performance choice for vehicles, machines, and more.
