Compact 0.7 x 0.8 inches size
Low dropout & quiescent current
Integrated protection features
The Pololu 7.5V 3A Synchronous Step-Down Voltage Regulator D30V30F7 is a highly efficient synchronous buck voltage regulator that produces a fixed output of 7.5 volts from input voltages up to 45 volts. Its switching regulator design offers superior efficiency compared to linear voltage regulators, particularly when there is a significant difference between the input and output voltages. The device is capable of supporting continuous output currents ranging from 2 to 3.5 amperes, with the exact current depending on the input and output voltages.
This regulator boasts a high degree of accuracy, maintaining the output voltage within 4% of the nominal value. It features a very low dropout voltage and operates at a switching frequency of approximately 700 kHz under heavy loads. To enhance efficiency under light loads, it includes a power-save mode that reduces the switching frequency. The quiescent current is also minimal, contributing to the overall efficiency of the device.
Additional functionalities include an enable input with a precise cutoff threshold, which allows for the disconnection of the load and the transition of the regulator into a low-power state. A "power good" output is provided to indicate when the regulator is unable to maintain the output voltage adequately. The device also employs frequency spread spectrum operation to minimize peak EMI noise and includes under-voltage lockout protection, a soft-start feature to limit inrush current, and integrated reverse-voltage protection up to 40 volts, as well as over-current and short-circuit protection, and over-temperature shutoff.
The compact dimensions of the regulator make it suitable for space-constrained applications. It also features mounting holes to facilitate installation.
The regulator includes six connections: power good, enable, input voltage, output voltage, and two ground connections. The "power good" indicator is an open-drain output that signals when the output voltage deviates significantly from the nominal value. To utilize this feature, an external pull-up resistor is required. The enable pin allows the regulator to be put into a low-power sleep state or reactivated, depending on the voltage applied. The input voltage powers the regulator, and the effective lower limit of this voltage is determined by the output voltage plus the regulator's dropout voltage. The regulated output voltage is provided at the VOUT connection.
During normal operation, this product can get hot enough to burn you. Take care when handling this product or other components connected to it.

Refund Policy
If you are not satisfied with a product purchased from the Site, you may request a return within 30 days from the delivery date, unless the product is listed under the Return Exceptions below or is subject to specific return conditions noted on the product page.
This return policy also applies, as a minimum standard, to products sold and fulfilled by third-party vendors through the Marketplace.
Returns under this policy concern non-defective products. In the case of a confirmed manufacturing defect, remedies are handled under the Warranty terms, at the Vendor's discretion. See the Warranty section.
Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
The RA number must be included with the return.
Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
