Description
The LM340 and LM7805 Family monolithic 3-terminal positive voltage regulators employ internal currentlimiting, thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making them essentially indestructible.
If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1.5-A output current.
Features
- 1 Output Current up to 1.5 A.
- Available in Fixed 5-V, 12-V, and 15-V Options.
- Output Voltage Tolerances of ±2% at TJ = 25°C
(LM340A).
- Line Regulation of 0.01% / V of at 1-A Load
(LM340A).
- Load Regulation of 0.3% / A (LM340A).
- Internal Thermal Overload, Short-Circuit and SOA
Protection.
- Available in Space-Saving SOT-223 Package.
- Output Capacitance Not Required for Stability
