This document describes the features and characteristics of the three-terminal low current positive voltage regulator produced by ANPEC Electronics Corp. These regulators have a maximum input voltage of 30V, output voltages of 5V and 12V, output current up to 100mA, no external components required, and internal thermal overload protection and short-circuit limiting.
The APL78L05/12 series are fixed‑voltage monolithic regulators designed for low‑current applications. Features include a maximum input voltage of 30 V, internal thermal overload and short‑circuit protection, and a 4 % output‑voltage tolerance. The devices are available in SOP‑8, SOT‑89 and TO‑92 packages and require no external components for basic operation.
Typical applications are battery‑powered circuitry and post‑regulation for switching power supplies. The datasheet provides pin descriptions, ordering codes, absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, and extensive typical characteristic curves covering dropout voltage, quiescent current, and temperature performance. Packaging details and carrier‑tape dimensions are also included.
