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 adjustable voltages and currents.
Features
• Output current up to 1.5 A
• Output voltages of - 5; - 8; - 12; - 15 V
• Thermal overload protection
• Short circuit protection
• Output transition SOA protection
• Output tolerance 2% (AC version) or 4% (C version) at 25°C
