L79xxAC Datasheet, PDF (1/20 Pages) STMicroelectronics – 2 % negative voltage regulatorsm

Features
■ Output current to 1.5 A
■ Output voltages of -5; -12; -15 V
■ Thermal overload protection
■ Short circuit protection
■ Output transition SOA protection
Description
The L79xxAC series of three-terminal negative
regulators is available in TO-220 and D²PAK
packages and several fixed output voltages.
These regulators can provide local on-card
regulation, eliminating the distribution problems
associated with single point regulation;
furthermore, having the same voltage option as
the L78xxA positive standard series, they are
particularly suited for split power supplies. If
adequate heat sinking is provided, they can
deliver over 1.5 A output current.
Although designed primarily as fixed voltage
regulators, these devices can be used with
external components to obtain adjustable
voltages and currents.
