DescriptionThe L78 series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP, D2PAK, and DPAK packages, as well as a variety of set output voltages, making it suitable for a broad range of applications. These regulators can provide local on-card control, avoiding the distribution issues that single-point regulation causes. Internal current limiting, thermal shut-down, and safe area protection are all built into each kind, making it almost unbreakable. They can provide more than 1 A of output current if suitable heat sinking is given. Despite being built primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices may be used in conjunction with external components to provide adjustable voltages and currents.APPLICATIONSThis transistor is mainly used for general-purpose amplification.Medium power switching applications make use of this transistor because it exhibits more power than a regular transistor.Darlington transistors are used in high-current circuits, especially in computer control of motor applications where current is being amplified from the computer to the level required for the connected device.PINOUTBLOCK DIAGRAM FEATURESOutput current in excess of 1.5AOutput voltage of 5V ·Internal thermal overload protectionOutput transition Safe-Area compensationThermal overload protectionShort circuit protectionSPECIFICATIONSFixed Output Voltage Nom.5VAdjustable Output Voltage Min–Adjustable Output Voltage Max–Input Voltage Min10VInput Voltage Max35VProduct Range7805 Voltage RegulatorsOutput Current1.5AOutput TypeFixedLinear Regulator Case StyleTO-220No. of Pins3 PinsOperating Temperature Min0°COperating Temperature Max125°CAutomotive Qualification Standard–DOCUMENTDatasheetTutorialSHIPPING LIST1 x L7805CV Voltage Regulator
