7808 +8V Linear Regulator

Description

DescriptionThe L78M series of three - terminal positive regulatorsDPAK and IPAK packages and with several fixedoutput voltages, making it useful in a wide rangeof applications. These regulators can provide local on - card regulation,eliminating the distribution problems associated with single pointregulation. Each type employs internal currentlimiting, thermal shutdown and safe areaprotection, resulting it essentially indestructible.If adequate heat sinking is provided, they candeliver over 0.5 A output current. Althoughdesigned primarily as fixed voltage regulators,these devices can be used with externalcomponents to obtain adjustable voltageand currentsFeaturesOutput current to 0.5 AOutput voltages of 5; 6; 8; 9; 10; 12; 15; 24 VThermal overload protectionShort circuit protectionOutput transition SOA protectionOutput voltage tolerance: 2 % (AB and AC versions) or 4 % (C version)Guaranteed in extended temperature rangeLM78xx Datasheet
