The LM79XX series of 3-terminal regulators is available with fixed output voltages of −5V, −12V, and −15V. These devices need only one external component—a compensation capacitor at the output. The LM79XX series is packaged in the TO-220 power package and is capable of supplying 1.5A of output current.
●These regulators employ internal current limiting safe area protection and thermal shutdown for protection against virtually all overload conditions.
●Low ground pin current of the LM79XX series allows output voltage to be easily boosted above the preset value with a resistor divider. The low quiescent current drain of these devices with a specified maximum change with line and load ensures good regulation in the voltage boosted mode.
●For applications requiring other voltages, see LM137 datasheet.
● Thermal, Short Circuit and Safe Area Protection
● High Ripple Rejection
● 1.5A Output Current
● 4% Tolerance on Preset Output Voltage
