L7815CV Voltage Regulator: Circuit, Pinout, and Datasheet [Video&FAQ]

L7815CV Voltage Regulator, as L78 series, the series of three-terminal positive regulators comes in  TO-220 , TO-220FP, D²PAK, and DPAK packages, as well as a variety of set output voltages, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

These regulators can provide local on-card control, which eliminates the distribution issues that single point regulation causes. Internal current limiting, thermal shut-down, and safe area protection are all built into each kind, making it virtually unbreakable. They can deliver over 1 A output current if appropriate heat sinking is given. Although these devices are generally designed as fixed voltage regulators.  they can be used in conjunction with external components to achieve variable voltage and currents.

Package

STMicroelectronics is a global electronics and semiconductors company headquartered in  Plan-les-Ouates , Switzerland, near Geneva. In 1987, the firm was formed by the merger of two government-owned semiconductor companies: France's "Thomson Semiconductors" and Italy's "SGS Microelettronica." It is known as "ST" and is Europe's largest semiconductor chip manufacturer in terms of revenue. While STMicroelectronics' corporate headquarters and  EMEA  regional offices are located in Geneva, the holding company,  STMicroelectronics N.V., is based in the Netherlands.

Coppell, Texas is where the company's US headquarters are located. The  Asia-Pacific region 's headquarters are in Singapore, while Japan and Korea's operations are based in Tokyo. Shanghai is where the company's China regional headquarters are located.

STMicroelectronics technology can be found in places where microelectronics has a positive impact on people's lives. ST chips with the latest advancements are found in a wide range of devices, including automobiles and key fobs, large factory machinery and data center power supplies, washing machines and hard drives, cellphones and toothbrushes. We assist our customers in making these gadgets smarter, more energy-efficient, more connected, safer, and secure.
