LM341/LM78MXX Series 3-Terminal Positive Voltage Regulators
July 1999
LM341/LM78MXX Series 3-Terminal Positive Voltage Regulators
General Description
The LM341 and LM78MXX series of three-terminal positive voltage regulators employ built-in current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-operating area protection which makes them virtually immune to damage from output overloads. With adequate heatsinking, they can deliver in excess of 0.5A output current. Typical applications would include local (on-card) regulators which can eliminate the noise and degraded performance associated with single-point regulation.
Features
Output current in excess of 0.
