REGULATOR (POSITIVE)
3-TERMINAL 1A POSITIVE VOLTAGE
REGULATORS
The LM78XX series of three-terminal positive
regulators are available in the TO-220/D-PAK package and with several fixed output voltages, making them useful in a wide range of applications. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage
regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.
