L78L00

Specifications




Description

The L78L00 series of three-terminal positiveregulators employ internal current limiting and thermal shutdown, making them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat-sink is provided,they can deliver up to 100 mA output current. They
are intended as fixed voltage regulators in a wide range of applications including local or on-card regulation for eli-mination of noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation.In addition, L78L00 can be used with power pass elements to make high-current voltage regulators.The L78L00 series used as Zener diode/resistor
combination replacement, offers an effective output impedance improvement of typically two  orders of magnitude, along with lower quiescent current and lower noise.
