Description
The KA78RM33 is a low-dropout voltage regulator suitable
for various electronic equipment. It provide constant voltage
power source with surface mount type package (D-PAK).
dropout volta ge of KA78RM33 is be low 0.6V in full rated
current(0.5A). This regulator has various function such as
over current protection, thermal shut down and SOA (Safe
operating Area) protection.
