L78 Datasheet (STMicroelectronics) - Positive voltage regulator

L78, Positive voltage regulator

The L78 series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP, D²PAK and DPAK 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
