GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This Series of fixed-voltage monolithic integrated
circuit voltage regulators is designed for a wide
range of applications. These applications include
on-card regulation for elimination of noise and
distribution problems associated with singlepoint regulation. In addition, they can be used
with power-pass elements to make high-current
voltage regulators. One of these regulators can
deliver up to 100 mA of output current. The internal limiting and thermal shutdown features of
these regulators male them essentially immune
to overload. When used as a replacement for a
zener diode-resistor combination, an effective
improvement in output impedance can be obtain
-ed together with lower-bias current.

Note1: To avoid exceeding the design maximum virtual junction temperature, three ratings should not be exceeded. Due to variations in
individual device electrical characteristics and thermal resistance, the built-in thermal overload protection may be activated at power
levels slightly above or below the rated dissipation.
