Description
The L79xxC series of three-terminal negative
regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP and
D²PAK packages and several fixed output
voltages, making it useful in a wide range of
applications. 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 L78xx 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.
