DESCRIPTION FEATURES
The AMC78XX series of three terminal voltage
regulator is designed for a wide range of applications
with different fixed output voltages. One of these
applications is local on card regulation, eliminating the
distribution problems associated with single point
regulation. Although designed primarily as fixed
voltage regulators, these devices can be used with
external components to obtain adjustable voltage and
currents.
The internal current limiting and thermal shutdown
features of these regulators make them essentially
immune to overload. Safe area protection for the
output transistor is provided to limit internal power
dissipation.
! Output current in excess of 1A
! No external components required
! High power dissipation capability
! Internal thermal overload protection
! Internal short-circuit current limiting
# Output transistor safe-area compensation
# Pin assignment identical to earlier LM78XX
series.
