LM340A Overview
Description
The LM140/LM340A/LM340/LM7800C monolithic 3-terminal positive voltage regulators employ internal current-limiting, thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1.0A output current.
Key Features
- Output voltage tolerances of ± 2% at Tj = 25˚C and ± 4% over the temperature range (LM140A/LM340A)
- Line regulation of 0.01% of VOUT/V of ∆VIN at 1A load (LM140A/LM340A)
- Load regulation of 0.3% of VOUT/A (LM140A/LM340A)
- Internal thermal overload protection
- Internal short-circuit current limit
- Output transistor safe area protection
