LM78XX
3-Terminal Positive voltage
Regulators
DESCRIPTION
These voltage
regulators are designed as fixed-voltage
regulators for a wide variety of applications including local, on-card regulation. Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage
regulator, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.
FEATURES
■ Output current in excess of 1.5A ■ No external components required ■ Output Voltages (5V, 6V, 8V, 9V, 10V, 12V, 15V, 18V) ■ Internal Thermal shutdown and SOA protection ■ Output voltage offered in 4% Tolerance ■ Pb-Free Packages are available ■ High ESD Level (HBM>8000V, MM>800V)
TYPICAL APPLICATION
The input voltage must remain typically 2.0V above the output voltage even during the low point on the ripple voltage.
* CI is required if
regulator is located an appreciable Distance from power filter.
* CO improves transient response. Values of ≤ 0.1 µF could cause instability.
