Package Options

3 Description

The LM78Lxx series of three terminal positive

regulators is available with several fixed output

voltages, making them useful in a wide range of

applications. Used as a Zener-diode and resistor

combination replacement, the LM78Lxx usually

provides an effective output impedance improvement

of two orders of magnitude and lower quiescent

current. These regulators can provide local, on-card

regulation, eliminating distribution problems

associated with single-point regulation. The available

voltages allow the LM78Lxx to be used in logic

systems, instrumentation, HiFi, and other solid-state

electronic equipment.

The LM78Lxx is available in the plastic TO-92 (LP)

package, the SOIC (D) package, and a chip-sized

package (8-Bump DSBGA) using TI's DSBGA

package technology. With adequate heat sinking, the

regulator can deliver 100-mA output current. Current

limiting is included to limit the peak output current to

a safe value. Safe area protection for the output

transistors is provided to limit internal power

dissipation. If internal power dissipation is too high for

the heat sinking provided, the thermal shutdown

circuit prevents the IC from overheating.

See AN-1112 DSBGA Wafer Level Chip Scale

Package (SNVA009) for DSBGA Considerations. For

more information on the TO-92 package, see TO-92

7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The LM78Lxx series of positive regulators is available in the following fixed output voltages: 5 V, 6.2 V, 8.2 V, 9

V, 12 V, and 15 V. The regulator can be configured to an adjustable output by connecting the GND pin to the

center of a resistive voltage divider as shown in Figure 10. In this configuration, the fixed output voltage acts as

the reference voltage across R1 allowing the output to be adjusted by changing the resistor.

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Load Regulation

These devices regulate the voltage between the VOUT and GND pins, and can be made adjustable by using a

resistive voltage divider. The output voltage tolerance is ±5% over temperature.

7.3.2 Protection

The LM78Lxx series of regulators has internal thermal overload protection that automatically shuts off the device

if the operating temperature becomes too high. There is also internal short-circuit current limit and output

transistor safe area protection that shuts down the device if the output current becomes too high.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Normal Operation

The VOUT pin sources current necessary to set the voltage on VOUT at a fixed voltage above the GND pin. See

Specifications for VOof each device.

7.4.2 Shutdown

The device automatically shuts down if the output current or its internal temperature becomes too high.

8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component

specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are

responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should

validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

These devices are versatile and high-performance regulators with a wide temperature range and tight line and

load regulation. An input capacitor is required if the regulator is placed more than 3 inches from the power supply

filter. TI recommends a minimum load capacitance of 0.01 µF to limit high frequency.

8.2 Typical Applications

8.2.1 Fixed Output Regulator

*Required if the regulator is located more than 3 inches from the power supply filter.

**Recommended minimum load capacitance of 0.01 µF to limit high-frequency noise.

Figure 8. Fixed Output Regulator Circuit

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements

The device component count is very minimal. No external components are usually required. However, TI

recommends input or output capacitors depending on the distance between the device and the power supply and

if extra filtering is needed at the output.

The output voltage is set based on the selection of the two resistors (R1 and R2), as shown in Figure 14.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.2.1.2.1 Input Capacitor

An input capacitor is required if the regulator is placed more than 3 inches from the power supply filter. A 0.33-µF

capacitor on the input is suitable for most applications.

8.2.1.2.2 Output Capacitor

TI recommends a minimum load capacitance of 0.01 µF to limit high-frequency noise.

8.2.2 Other Application Circuits

Figure 10 to Figure 14 show application circuit examples using the LM78Lxx devices. Customers must fully

validate and test these circuits before implementing a design based on these examples. Unless otherwise noted,

the design procedures in Fixed Output Regulator are applicable to these designs.

9 Power Supply Recommendations

The linear regulator input supply must be well regulated and kept at a voltage level to not exceed the maximum

input to output voltage differential allowed by the device. The minimum dropout voltage (VIN – VO) must be met

with extra headroom when possible to keep the output well regulated. A 0.33-µF or higher capacitor must be

placed at the input to bypass noise.

10 Layout

10.1 Layout Guidelines

For the best overall performance, some layout guidelines may be disregarded. Place all circuit components on

the same side of the circuit board and as near as practical to the respective linear regulator pins. Traces must be

kept short and wide to reduce the amount of parasitic elements in the system. The actual width and thickness of

traces depends on the current carrying capability and heat dissipation required by the end system.

11.6 Electrostatic Discharge Caution

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with

appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.

ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more

susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:

ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.

LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.

NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.

PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.

OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.

(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability

information and additional product content details.

TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.

Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that

lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.

PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM

www.ti.com 14-Jul-2016

Addendum-Page 3

Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between

the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.

Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight

in homogeneous material)

(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.

(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.

(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation

of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish

value exceeds the maximum column width.
