LM79XX
3-Terminal Negative voltage Regulators
DESCRIPTION
These voltage regulators are designed as fixed negative voltage regulators for a wide variety of applications including local, on-card regulation. Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.
FEATURES
■ Output current in excess of 1.0A ■ No external components required ■ Output Voltages (-5V, -6V, -8V, -9V, -10V, -12V, -15V, -18V) ■ Internal Thermal shutdown and SOA protection ■ Output voltage offered in 4% Tolerance ■ Pb-Free Packages are available ■ High ESD Level (HBM>8000V, MM>800V)
TYPICAL APPLICATION
The input voltage must remain typically 2.0V above the output voltage even during the low point on the ripple voltage.
