LM78XX / LM78XXA
3-Terminal 1 A Positive Voltage Regulator
Features
Description
•
•
•
•
•
The LM78XX series of three-terminal positive regulators
is 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. If
adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over
1 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixedvoltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components for adjustable voltages and currents.
Output Current up to 1 A
Output Voltages: 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24 V

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The
absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. Values are at TA = 25°C unless otherwise noted.

Notes:
29. To specify an output voltage, substitute voltage value for “XX”. A common ground is required between the input and
the output voltage. The input voltage must remain typically 2.0 V above the output voltage even during the low point on
the input ripple voltage.
30. CI is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter.
31. CO improves stability and transient response.

DISCLAIMER
FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO ANY PRODUCTS HEREIN TO IMPROVE
RELIABILITY, FUNCTION, OR DESIGN. FAIRCHILD DOES NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE APPLICATION OR USE OF ANY PRODUCT
OR CIRCUIT DESCRIBED HEREIN; NEITHER DOES IT CONVEY ANY LICENSE UNDER ITS PATENT RIGHTS, NOR THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS. THESE

WHICH COVERS THESE PRODUCTS.
LIFE SUPPORT POLICY
FAIRCHILD’S PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE
EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION.
As used herein:
1. Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are
2. A critical component in any component of a life support, device, or
intended for surgical implant into the body or (b) support or sustain
system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to
life, and (c) whose failure to perform when properly used in
cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its
safety or effectiveness.
accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be
reasonably expected to result in a significant injury of the user.
ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. Fairchild's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy is also stated on our external website, www.fairchildsemi.com,
under Sales Support.
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufacturers of semiconductor products are experiencing counterfeiting of their
parts. Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of brand reputation, substandard performance, failed
applications, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to protect ourselves and our customers from the
proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild
Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors
are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild's quality standards for handling and storage and provide access to Fairchild's full range of up-to-date technical
