Description

The 7815 15V fixed 3-terminal positive voltage

regulator delivers up to 1.5A of output current with

adequate heat-sinking. The device is equipped with

internal limiting, safe-area compensation + thermal

shutdown features for overload immunity. The 7815

can be used with external components to obtain

adjustable voltages or currents & can also be used as

the power-pass element in precision high-current

voltage regulators. No external components are

needed other than to enhance performance or

increase design flexibility.

Features

 ±5% VOUT tolerance over entire temperature range

 Greater than 1A output current capability

 Internal thermal overload protection

 Internal short-circuit current limit

 Output capacitor not essential for stability

 Full Military temperature range

 Negative voltage complement is 7915
