Regulators
General Description
The LM140/LM340A/LM340/LM7800C monolithic 3-terminal positive voltage
regulators employ internal current-limiting, thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making them essentially indestructible.
If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1.
0A output current.
They are intended as fixed voltage
regulators in a wide range of applications including local (on-card) regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation.
In addition to use as fixed voltage
regulators, th...
