This series of fixed-voltage monolithic integrated-circuit voltage regulators is designed for a wide range of applications. These applications include on-card regulation for elimination of Noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. In addition, they can be used with power-pass elements to make high-current voltage regulators. Each of These regulators can deliver up to 100mA of output current. The internal limiting and thermal shutdown features of these regulators make them essentially immune to overload. When used as a replacement for a Zener diode-resistor combination, on effective improvement in output impedance can be obtained together with lover-bias current.
The S78Lxx series consists of 3-terminal positive-voltage regulators designed to deliver up to 100mA of output current. These devices feature internal thermal overload protection and short-circuit limiting, making them immune to overload conditions without requiring external components for basic operation.
The document provides absolute maximum ratings, recommended operating conditions, and detailed electrical characteristics for various voltage options ranging from S78L05 (5V) to S78L24 (24V). Key performance metrics include input regulation, ripple rejection, output noise voltage, and dropout voltage specifications across different load currents.
