L7900

The L7900 series of three-terminal negative regulators is available in TO-220,TO-220FP,TO-3 and D²PAK packages and several fixed output voltages,making it useful in awide range of applications.These regulators can provide local on-card regulation,eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation;furthermore,having the same voltage optionas the L7800 positive standard series,they are particularly suited for split power supplies.In addition,the -5.2V is also avail able for ECL system.If adequate heat sinking is provided,they can deliverover 1.5A output current.

Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators,these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages andcurrents.
