DESCRIPTION
The LM341 and LM78MXX series of three-terminal
positive voltage regulators employ built-in current
limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-operating area
protection which makes them virtually immune to
damage from output overloads.
With adequate heatsinking, they can deliver in excess
of 0.5A output current. Typical applications would
include local (on-card) regulators which can eliminate
the noise and degraded performance associated with
single-point regulation.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
