Actual quiescent current ranges from 2 to 30 mA depending on input voltage and output voltages

Pololu 5V, 2.5A Step-Down Voltage Regulator D24V25F5 hub-zubehoer The picture to the rightThis small synchronous switching step down (or buck) regulator takes an input voltage of up to 38 V and efficiently reduces it to 5 V. The board measures only 0. 7? 0. 7?, but it allows a typical continuous output current of up to 2. 5 A. Typical efficiencies of 85% to 95% make this regulator well suited for powering moderate loads like sensors or small motors. High efficiencies are maintained at light loads by dynamically changing the switching
