Description
LM78XX / LM78XXA * 3-Terminal 1 A Positive Voltage Regulator September 2014 LM78XX / LM78XXA 3-Terminal 1 A Positive Voltage Regulator Feat.
The LM78XX series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in the TO-220 package and with several fixed output voltages, making them useful.
Features
* Output Current up to 1 A
* Output Voltages: 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24 V
* Thermal Overload Protection
* Short-Circuit Protection
Applications
* Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut-down, and safe operating area protection. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixedvoltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components for adjustab
