LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
3-TERMINAL POSITIVE VOLTAGE REGULATORS
• OUTPUT CURRENT UP TO 1.5A • OUTPUT VOLTAGES OF 5; 6; 8; 12; 15; 18; 20; 24V • THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION • SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION • OUTPUT TRANSISTOR SOA PROTECTION
The L7800 series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220 and TO-3 packages and with 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. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1A output current.
