NTE1956
Integrated Circuit
Positive 3 Terminal Voltage Regulator,
Low Dropout Voltage, 24V, 1A
Description:
The NTE1956 is a positive voltage regulator in a TO220 type package with a low input/output voltage.
This device is suitable for low–voltage, battery–driven equipment, and home appliances and industrial
equipment with great fluctuation of the supply voltage.
Features:
D Minimum Input/Output Voltage Difference: 0.5V Typ
D On–Chip Overcurrent Limiter
D On–Chip Thermal Protection Circuit
D On–Chip Inrush Current Protection Circuit at the time of Input Voltage Start–Up
D On–Chip Input Short–Circuit Protection Circuit (When the Input Pin is Short–Circuited to the
Ground, the Circuit Between Pin1 and Pin3 is Shut Down to Prevent Current Flow)
Applications:
D Power Supply Equipment
Absolute Maximum Ratings: (TA = +25°C unless otherwise specified)

Note 1. At the application of VIN = 30V, the overvoltage protection may be operated by the ASO
protection circuit, leading to the output shut down.
Note 2. The current value does not exceed this criterion because of the on–chip current limiter.
Note 3. The internal circuit shuts off the output when TJ ≤ +150°C (design value).
Recommended Operating Conditions: (IO = 500mA, TA = +25°C unless otherwise specified)
