L78S 2 A positive voltage regulator IC Datasheet - production data Description The L78S series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220 package and several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications. These regulators can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. Each type embeds internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area TO-220 protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 2 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, Features these devices can be used with external Output current up to 2 A components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents. Output voltages of 5 7.5 9 10 12 15 18 24 V Thermal protection Short circuit protection Output transition SOA protection Table 1.
