DESCRIPTION
The L7800A series of three terminal positive
regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP and
D
2
PAK 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
problem associated with single point regulation.
Each type employs internal current limiting,
thermal shut-down and safe area protection,
making it essentially indestructible. If adeguate
heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1A
D

output current, Although designed primarily as
fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be
used with external components to obtain
adjustable voltage and currents.
