Description
The KA78XXE/KA78XXAE series of three-terminal posi-
tive regulator are available in the TO-220/D-PAK package
and with several fixed output voltages, making them use-
ful in a wide range of applications. Each type employs
internal current limiting, thermal shut down and safe
operating area protection, making it essentially inde-
structible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can
deliver over 1A output current. Although designed pri-
marily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be
used with external components to obtain adjustable volt-
ages and currents.
