FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM79MXX series of 3-terminal regulators is
2
Thermal, Short Circuit and Safe Area
available with fixed output voltages of 5V, 12V, and
Protection
15V. These devices need only one external
High Ripple Rejection
component—a compensation capacitor at the output.
0.5A Output Current
The LM79MXX series is packaged in the TO-220
power package, and is capable of supplying 0.5A of
4% Tolerance on Preset Output Voltage
output current.
These regulators employ internal current limiting, safe
area protection, and thermal shutdown for protection
against virtually all overload conditions.
Low ground pin current of the LM79MXX series
allows output voltage to be easily boosted above the
preset value with a resistor divider. The low quiescent
current of these devices with a specified maximum
change with line and load ensures good regulation in
the voltage boosted mode.
For output voltage other than 5V, 12V, and 15V
the LM137 series provides an output voltage range
from 1.2V to 57V.
