L78M12CDT Datasheet PDF - ST Microelectronics

DESCRIPTION

●The L78M00 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 shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate

●heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 0.5A output current. Although designed primarily

●as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain

●adjustable voltage and currents.

●■ OUTPUT CURRENT TO 0.5A

●■ OUTPUT VOLTAGES OF 5; 6; 8; 9; 12; 15; 18; 20; 24V

●■ THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION

●■ SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION

●■ OUTPUT TRANSITION SOA PROTECTION
