description
COMMON
This series of fixed-negative-voltage monolithic
integrated-circuit voltage regulators is designed
to complement the µA78M00 series in a wide
range of applications. These applications include
on-card regulation for elimination of noise and
distribution problems associated with single-point
regulation. Each of these regulators delivers up to
500 mA of output current. The internal
current-limiting and thermal-shutdown features of
these regulators make them essentially immune
to overload. In addition to use as fixed-voltage
regulators, these devices can be used with
external components to obtain adjustable output
voltages and currents, and also as the
power-pass element in precision regulators.
