LM79XX Series 3-Terminal Negative Regulators
General Description
The LM79XX series of 3-terminal regulators is available with
fixed output voltages of
b
5V,b8V,b12V, andb15V.
These devices need only one external componentÐa 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 data
sheet.

*Required if regulator is separated from filter capacitor by
more than 3
×
. For value given, capacitor must be solid
tantalum. 25 mF aluminum electrolytic may be substituted.
²
Required for stability. For value given, capacitor must be
solid tantalum. 25 mF aluminum electrolytic may be substituted. Values given may be increased without limit.
For output capacitance in excess of 100 mF, a high current
diode from input to output (1N4001, etc.) will protect the
regulator from momentary input shorts.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but do not guarantee Specific Performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: Refer to Typical Performance Characteristics and Design Considerations for details.
Note 3: Regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature by pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects must be
taken into account.
