MC79XX/MC79XXA/LM79XX
3-Terminal 1A Negative Voltage Regulator

Features Description
• Output Current in Excess of 1A The MC79XX / MC79XXA/ LM79XX series of three
• Output Voltages of -5, -6, -8,-9,-10, -12,-15,-18 and -24V terminal negative regulators are available in TO-220
• Internal Thermal Overload Protection package and with several fixed output voltages, making
• Short Circuit Protection them useful in a wide range of applications. Each type
• Output Transistor Safe Operating Area Compensation employs internal current limiting, thermal shut down and
safe operating area protection, making it essentially
indestructible.

Notes:
(1) To specify an output voltage, substitute voltage value for "XX "
(2) Required for stability. For value given, capacitor must be solid tantalum. If aluminium electronics are used, at least ten times
value shown should be selected. CI is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter.
(3) To improve transient response. If large capacitors are used, a high current diode from input to output (1N400l or similar)
should be introduced to protect the device from momentary input short circuit.
