MSK 5978RH EVALUATION BOARD USERS GUIDE

From M.S. Kennedy Corp.

The MSK 5978RH offers low dropout down to 250mV and an output voltage range down
to zero volts while offering radiation tolerance for space applications. The low dropout
voltage allows increased output current while providing exceptional device efficiency.
Because of the increased efficiency, a small hermetic 10 pin ceramic flatpack can be used
providing maximum performance while occupying minimal board space. The
MSK5978RH is available in two lead options: straight or gull wing.

Products & Services
DC-DC Converter Chips
DC-DC converter chips provide a regulated DC voltage output from a different, unregulated input voltage. 
Gate Drivers
Gate drivers are electronic circuits that apply correct power levels to metal-oxide field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs).
IC Voltage Regulators
IC voltage regulators are three-terminal devices that provide a constant DC output voltage that is independent of the input voltage, output load current, and temperature. IC voltage regulators are used in power supplies that hold their output voltage constant over a wide range of load variations.
IC Switching Voltage Regulators
IC switching voltage regulators are integrated circuits (ICs) that store energy in an inductor, transformer, or capacitor and then use this storage device to transfer energy from the input to the output in discrete packets over a low-resistance switch.
IC Linear Voltage Regulators
Integrated circuit (IC) linear voltage regulators use voltage-controlled sources to force a fixed voltage to appear at their output terminal.
