3-TERMINAL POSITIVE LINEAR REGULATOR AZ78LXX

General Description Features

The AZ78LXX series are three terminal positive regu- · Output Current up to 100mA
lators with several fixed output voltages. These regula- · Fixed Output Voltages of 5V, 8V, 9V and 12V
tors can provide local on card regulation, eliminating · Output Voltage Tolerances of ±5% over the Full
the distribution problems associated with single point Temperature Range
regulation. The AZ78LXX can be used in logic sys-
· Internal Short Circuit Current-limiting
tems, instrumentation, HiFi, and other solid state elec-
· Internal Thermal Overload Protection
tronic equipment. When used as a Zener diode/resistor
combination replacement, the AZ78LXX usually · No External Components
results an effective output impedance improvement of
two orders of magnitude, and lower quiescent current. Applications

With adequate heat sinking the AZ78LXX can deliver · High Efficiency Linear Regulator
100mA output current. Current limiting is included to · Post Regulation for Switching Supply
limit the peak output current to a safe value. Thermal
· Microprocessor Power Supply
protection is also provided. If internal power
dissipation becomes too high for the heat sinking · Mother Board I/O Power Supply
provided, the thermal shutdown circuit takes over
preventing the IC from overheating.

The AZ78LXX are available in the plastic TO-92

(bulk or ammo packing), SOT-223 and SOT-89 pack-
ages.
