NTE981 Integrated Circuit Positive 3 Terminal Voltage Regulator, 100mA
Description: The NTE981 is a positive 3–terminal voltage regulator available in a TO92 type package. With adequate heat sinking this device can deliver 100mA output current. Current limiting is included to limit peak output current to safe value. Safe area protection for the output transistors is provided to limit internal power dissipation. If internal power dissipation becomes too high for the heat sinking provided, the thermal shutdown circuit takes over preventing the IC from overheating. When used as a zener diode/resistor combination replacement, the NTE981 usually results in an effective output impedance improvement of two orders of magnitude, and lower quiescent current.
