L7809CT Datasheet PDF - ST Microelectronics

Description

●The L78xx series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP, TO-3 and D2PAK packages and several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications. These regulators can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. Each type employs internal current

●limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents.

●Features

●■ Output current to 1.5 A

●■ Output voltages of 5; 5.2; 6; 8; 8.5; 9; 10; 12; 15; 18; 20; 24 V

●■ Thermal overload protection

●■ Short circuit protection

●■ Output transition SOA protection
