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
