DESCRIPTION
The L78S00 series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220 and TO-3 packages
and with 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. Each type employs internal current
limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate
heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 2A
output current. Although designed primarily as fixed
voltage regulators, these devices can be used with
external components to obtain adjustable voltages
and currents.

Figure 33 : Protection against Input Short-circuit
with High Capacitance Loads.
Applications with high capacitance loads and an
output voltage greater than 6 volts need an external
diode (see fig. 33) to protect the device against input
short circuit. In this case the input voltage falls
rapidly while the output voltage decreases showly.
The capacitance discharges by means of the BaseEmitter junction of the series pass transistor in the
regulator. If the energy is sufficiently high, the transistor may be destroyed. The external diode bypasses the current from the IC to ground.
