Description
The L7800 series of three-terminal positive
regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP, TO-3
and D2PAK packages and several fixed output
voltages, making it useful in a wide range of
applications. These regulators can provide local
on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution
problems associated with single point regulation.
Each type 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 1A
output current. Although designed
