Description

This 79L18 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 of the 79L18 make them essentially immune to overload. When used as a replacement for a zener-diode and resistor combination, these devices can provide ef current.
