LM78LXX Series
3-Terminal Positive Regulators
General Description
The LM78LXX series of three terminal positive regulators is available with several fixed output
voltages making them useful in a wide range of applications.
When used as a zener diode/resistor combination replacement, the LM78LXX usually results in an effective output impedance improvement of two orders of magnitude, and lower quiescent current.
These regulators can provide local on card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation.
The
voltages available allow the LM78LXX to be used in logic systems, instrumentation, H...
