3 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 1.5 A 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 can be used as the power-pass element in precision regulators.
