Description
The GM7800 series are classic regulators, which are useful in a wide range of applications.
For example, you can use them for local on-card regulation to eliminate the distribution and problems associated with single point regulation.
The wide range of output
voltages (5V to 27V) make them useful in an endless list of applications.
Although designed as fixed
voltage regulators, you can add a few external components to make adjustable
voltages and currents.
Current limiting prevents the peak output current to a safe value.
Safe-area protection of the output transistor limits internal power dissipation.
If internal power dissipation becomes too high for the hea...
