NTE963 Linear Integrated Circuit Voltage Regulator, Negative, –6V, 1A Description: The NTE963 voltage regulator employs current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe–area compensation which makes it remarkably rugged under most operating conditions. With adequate heat– sinking they can deliver output currents in excess of 1.0 amperes.
