NTE923 & NTE923D Integrated Circuit Precision Voltage Regulator Description: The NTE923 and NTE923D are voltage regulators designed primarily for series regulator applications. By themselves, these devices will supply output currents up to 150mA; but, external transistors can be added to provide any desired load current. The circuits feature extremely low standby current drain, and provision is made for either linear or foldback current limiting. These devices are also useful in a wide range of other applications such as shunt regulators, current regulators, and temperature controllers.

Line and load regulation specifications are given for the condition of constant chip temperature. Temperature drifts must be taken into account separately for high dissipation conditions. Note 2. Guaranteed by correlation to other tests. Note 3. For metal can applications where VZ is required, an external 6.2V zener diode should be connected in series with VOUT.
