STMicroelectronics L78M05A
The L78M series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP, DPAK and IPAK packages and with 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 with single point regulation. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area protection, resulting it essentially indestructible.FEATURES
● Output current to 0.5 A● Output voltages of 5; 6; 8; 9; 10; 12; 15; 24 V
● Thermal overload protection
● Short circuit protection
● Output transition SOA protection
● Output voltage tolerance: 2 % (AB and AC versions) or 4 % (C version)
● Guaranteed in extended temperature range
DESCRIPTION
If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 0.5 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents.
