The MST2218KCD with DC-DC Converters is a SOP8 RoHS-compliant surface mount device manufactured by MST. This device is suitable for applications where a regulated DC power supply is required. It is designed to reduce the output voltage from a higher input voltage to a lower voltage, ensuring stability and providing protection against overloads and over temperatures. The device features a host of functions including automatic self-recovery from short circuits, input under voltage lockout, thermal shutdown, and enable/disable control. Its wide 4:1 input voltage range from 6.5V to 26V and low output voltage range of 0.8V – 15V makes it suitable for a variety of applications such as computer peripherals, high-efficiency DC motor drives, industrial controller adaptors, telecom power supplies, and instrumentation. With a maximum output current of 1.6A, the MST2218KCD is able to provide a continuous output power of up to 24W. Additionally, the product has an amazingly low quiescent current and low ripple voltage, making it an ideal choice for energy-efficient products. The isolated junction design provides complete protection against high frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI).
