DESCRIPTION
The L78L00 series of three-terminal positive
regulators employ internal current limiting and
thermal shutdown, making them essentially
indestructible. If adequate heat-sink is provided,
they can deliver up to 100 mA output current. They
are intended as fixed voltage regulators in a wide
range of applications including local or on-card
regulation for elimination of noise and d istribution
problems associated with single-point reg ulation.
In addition, they can be used with power pass
elements to make high-current voltage regulators.
The L78L00 series used as Zener diod e/resistor
combination replacement, offers an effective
output impedance improvement of typically two
TO-92
SOT-89SO-8
orders of magnitude, along with lower quiescent
current and lower noise.

(*) Our SO -8 package used for Volta ge Regulators is modifi ed i nt ernally to have pins 2, 3, 6 and 7 el ectrically commune d to the die attach
flag. This particular frame decreases the total thermal resistance of the package and increases its ability to dissipate power when an appropriate area of copper on the printed circuit board is available for heat-sinking. The external dimensions are the same as for the standard SO-8.
