DESCRIPTION
The L78L00 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 t o 100 mA output current. They
are intended as fix ed voltage regulators in a wide
range of applications including local or on-card
regulation for elimination of noise and d istribution
problems associated with single-point regulation.
In addition, they can be used with power pass
elements to make high-current voltage regulat ors.
The L78L00 series used as Zener diode/resistor
combination replacement, offers an effective
output impedance improvement of typically two
orders of magnitude, along with lower quiescent
current and lower noise.

priate area of copper on the printed circuit board is available for heat-sinking. The external dimensions are the same as for the standard SO-8.
