L79 Datasheet Negative voltage regulators 3 1 D2 PAK 3 12 TO-220FP TO-220 1 23 Features Output current up to 1.5 A Output voltages: -5, -8, -12, and -5 V Thermal overload protection Short-circuit protection Output SOA protection Output tolerance 2% (AC version) or 4% (C version) at 25 °C Description The L79 series of three-terminal negative regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP and D²PAK packages and 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; furthermore, having the same voltage option as the L78 positive standard series, they are particularly suited for split power supplies. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1.5 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustab...
