description
This series of fixed-voltage 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 single-point regulation.
Each of these regulators can deliver up to 500 mA
of output current. The internal current-limiting and
thermal-shutdown features of these regulators
essentially make them immune to overload. In
addition to use as fixed-voltage regulators, these
devices can be used with external components to
obtain adjustable output voltages and currents
and also as the power-pass element in precision
regulators.
The µA78M00C series is characterized for
operation over the virtual junction temperature
range of 0°C to 125°C.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of
Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable
ambient temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA)/θJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can impact reliability. 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.
2. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51, except for through-hole packages, which use a trace
length of zero.
