L79

L79 Negative voltage regulators Datasheet - production data Description TO-220 TO-220FP D²PAK Features Output current up to 1.5 A Output voltages of - 5; - 8; - 12; - 15 V 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 adjustable voltages and currents. Thermal overload protection Short circuit protection Output transition SOA protection Output tolerance 2% (AC version) or 4% (C version) at 25°C Table 1.
