Schematic Diagram

Description

The KA79MXX series of 3-Terminal medium current
negative voltage regulators are monolithic integrated circuits
designed as fixed voltage regulators. These regulators
employ internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and
safe area compensation making them essentially
indestructible.
