ON SEMICONDUCTOR MC78M00 MC78M00A NCV78M00 Series 500 mA Positive Voltage Regulators handbook
The MC78M00 series are three‑terminal positive voltage regulators offering 500 mA output current with internal thermal overload protection, short‑circuit current limiting and safe‑area compensation. They are intended for local, on‑card voltage regulation and are available in 5 V, 8 V, 12 V and 15 V output options.
The document lists maximum ratings, detailed electrical characteristics for each voltage option, and package dimensions for TO‑220, DPAK‑3 and other package styles. Ordering information and contact details for ON Semiconductor technical support are also provided.
