79L15

This series of fixed negative-voltage integrated-circuit voltage regulators of the 79L15 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 of the 79L15 can deliver up to 100 mA of output current. The internal current-limiting and thermal-shutdown features make them essentially immune to overload. When used as a replacement for a zener-diode and resistor combination, the 79L15 can provide ef current. fective improvement in output impedance of two orders of magnitude, with lower bias
