The L78 series of three-terminal positive regulators are available in package types of TO-220, to-220FP, D²PAK and DPAK. The fixed output voltage enables it to be widely used. 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 protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents.
