Series
description
This series of fixed-voltage monolithic integrated-
circuit voltage regulators is designed for a wide
range of applications. These applications include
on-card regulation for elimination of noise and
distribution problems associated with single-point
regulation. Each of these regulators can deliver up
to 1.5 A of output current. The internal current
limiting and thermal shutdown features of these
regulators make them essentially immune to
overload. In addition to use as fixed-voltage
regulators, these devices can be used with
external components to obtain adjustable output
voltages and currents and also used as the
power-pass element in precision regulators.
The
μ
A7800C series is characterized for
operation over the virtual junction temperature
range of 0
°
C to 125
°
C. The
μ
A7805Q and
μ
A7812Q are characterized for operation over the
virtual junction temperature range of –40
°
C to
125
°
C.
