Internal Block Diagram
Description
The KA723 are monolithic integrated Circuit voltage regulators featuring high ripple rejection, excellent output and
load regulation, excellent temperature stability, and low
standby current. The KA723 are also useful in a wide range
of other applications such as a shunt regulator, a current regulator or a temperature controller.
