DESCRIPTION
The L78S00 series ofthree-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220 and TO-3 packages
and with several fixed output voltages, making it
useful in a widerange of applications. Theseregulators canprovide local on-cardregulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single
pointregulation. Eachtypeemploysinternalcurrent
limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection,makingitessentially indestructible. Ifadequate
heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 2A
outputcurrent. Althoughdesigned primarily as fixed
voltage regulators, these devices can be used with
external components to obtain adjustable voltages
and currents.
