The PB137 is a positive voltage regulator able to
provide 1.5 A, at V
charger for lead acid battery. The main feature is
a reverse leakage current (Max 10 µA at T
40 °C V
= floating and VO = 13.7 V). It is available
I
in TO-220 and it employs internal current limiting,
thermal shut-down and safe area protection,
making it essentially indestructible. If adequate
heat-sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1 A
output current.
