LM78XX Series
Voltage Regulators
General Description
The LM78XX series of three terminal regulators is available with several fixed output
voltages making them useful in a wide range of applications.
One of these is local on card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation.
The
voltages available allow these regulators to be used in logic systems, instrumentation, HiFi, and other solid state electronic equipment.
Although designed primarily as fixed
voltage regulators these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable
voltages and currents.
The LM78XX series is available in an alum...
