POSITIVE VOLTAGE REGULATORS 78L12 SOT-23

POSITIVE VOLTAGE REGULATORS

1 Description 

The 78LXX series of three-terminal positive regulators employ internal current limiting and thermal shutdown, making them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat-sink is provided, they can deliver up to 100 mA output current. They are intended as fixed voltage regulators in a wide range of applications including local or on-card regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. In addition, they can be used with power pass elements to make high-current voltage regulators.The 78LXX series used as Zener diode/resistor combination replacement, offers an effective output impedance improvement of typically two
