L7908C - Negative voltage regulators

Download the L7908C datasheet PDF. This datasheet also covers the L79 variant, as both devices belong to the same negative voltage regulators family and are provided as variant models within a single manufacturer datasheet.

General Description

The L79 series of three-terminal negative regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP and D²PAK packages and several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications.

Key Features

  • Output current up to 1.5 A.
  • Output voltages: -5, -8, -12, and -5 V.
  • Thermal overload protection.
  • Short-circuit protection.
  • Output SOA protection.
  • Output tolerance 2% (AC version) or 4% (C version) at 25 °C.

rent up to 1.5 A • Output voltages: -5, -8, -12, and -5 V • Thermal overload protection • Short-circuit protection • Output SOA protection • Output tolerance 2% (AC version) or 4% (C version) at 25 °C Description The L79 series of three-terminal negative regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP and D²PAK packages and several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications. These regulators can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation; furthermore, having the same voltage option as the L78 positive standard series, they are par
