VAC 21-0781 is a general purpose, flexible, general purpose, high-volume, low-noise, and high-efficiency DC input voltage regulator with an input voltage range of 5.0V to 24.0V. It can be used to replace small-junction or high-power switched or solid-state regulators in various applications with a nominal system voltage of 5.0V to 24.0V. By implementing VAC21-0781 in a DC/DC controller, one can build more efficient DC power supplies that have a large usable internal output voltage range of 1.5V to 6.0V, and can also be designed to be used by switching power supplies, or other devices that require output voltage greater than 5.0V. The following applications are examples of applications that might benefit from the use of VAC21-0781. VAC21-0781 can provide a stable output voltage of 11.5V to 17.0V in a fixed phase input voltage range of 5.0 to 24.0V in applications where low output ripple, no external load, and high efficiency are needed. In applications where only one VAC12-4750 is needed, a suitable VAC21-0781 regulator can provide up to 15.0V per input voltage in a fixed voltage range of 4.5V to 9.5V, with a high input capacity of 200 MA. Specifications Input voltage 7.0V to 14.5V Rated input current 25 MA Power supply 5.0V to 24.0V Operating temperature: 5 °C to 65 °C Input voltage range 5.0 to 24.

The definition of a subordinate would be expanded to include persons hired by the VA for the delivery of goods or services, provided that the payment of the service occurs on or after the date of service. The recipient would be a direct payee provided that payment occurs within 6 months after a recipient becomes an eligible recipient.
