description/ordering information

This series of fixed negative-voltage

integrated-circuit voltage regulators is designed

for a wide range of applications. These include

on-card regulation for elimination of noise and

distribution problems associated with single-point

regulation. In addition, they can be used to control series pass elements to make high-current voltage-regulator

circuits. One of these regulators can deliver up to 100 mA of output current. The internal current-limiting and

thermal-shutdown features essentially make the regulators immune to overload. When used as a replacement

for a Zener-diode and resistor combination, these devices can provide an effective improvement in output

impedance of two orders of magnitude, with lower bias current.
