LM78XX/LM78XXA 3-Terminal 1A Positive Voltage Regulator Features General Description ■ Output Current up to 1A The LM78XX series of three terminal positive regulators are available in the TO-220 package and with several fixed output voltages, making them useful in a wide range of applications. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut down and safe operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents. ■ Output Voltages of 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24 ■ Thermal Overload Protection ■ Short Circuit Protection ■ Output Transistor Safe Operating Area Protection Ordering Information Product Number Output Voltage Tolerance Package Operating Temperature ±4% TO-220 -40°C to +125°C LM7805CT LM7806CT LM7808CT LM7809CT LM7810CT LM7812CT LM7815CT LM7818CT LM7824CT LM7805ACT ±2% 0°C to +125°C LM7806ACT LM7808ACT LM7809ACT LM7810ACT LM7812ACT LM7815ACT LM7818ACT LM7824ACT ©2006 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation LM78XX/LM78XXA Rev. 1.0 1 www.fairchildsemi.com LM78XX/LM78XXA 3-Terminal 1A Positive Voltage Regulator March 2008 LM78XX/LM78XXA 3-Terminal 1A Positive Voltage Regulator Block Diagram Input Series Pass Element 1 Current Generator Starting Circuit Output 3 SOA Protection Reference Voltage Error Amplifier Thermal Protection GND 2 Figure 1.
