FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION This Series of fixed-voltage monolithic integrated circuit voltage regulators is designed for a wide range of applications. These applications include on-card regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with singlepoint regulation. In addition, they can be used with power-pass elements to make high-current voltage regulators. One of these regulators can deliver up to 100 m A of output current. The internal limiting and thermal shutdown features of these regulators male them essentially immune to overload. When used as a replacement for a zener diode-resistor bination, an effective improvement in output impedance can be obtain -ed together with lower-bias current. l 3-terminal regulators l Output current up to 100 m A l No external ponent l Internal thermal overload protection l Internal short-circuit current limiting APPLICATIONS l Linear regulator l Instrumentation l Switching power supplies l PCs, Industrial equipment PIN CONFIGURAT IONS DEVICE SELECTION GUIDE Device Package Marking L78L15N TO-92 78L15 MAR-14-2002 NIKO-SEM Three-Terminal Positive-Voltage Regulator ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS PARAMETER Input Voltage - V I Continuous total power dissipation Storage Temperature Range - TSTG Junction Temperature - TJ Lead Temperature (Soldering, 10 Seconds) - TL VALUE 30V (See Note 1) -55 to +150 °C 125 °C 260 °C Note1: To avoid exceeding the design maximum virtual junction temperature, three ratings should not be exceeded. Due to variations in individual device electrical characteristics and thermal resistance, the built-in thermal overload protection may be activated at power levels slightly above or below the rated dissipation.
