Description
The MC79XX / MC79XXA/ LM79XX series of three
terminal negative regulators are available in TO-220
package and with several fixed output voltages, making
them useful in a wide range of applications. Each type
employs internal current limiting, thermal shut down and
safe operating area protection, mak ing it essentially
indestructible.

Notes:
(1) To specify an output voltage, substitute voltage value for "XX "
(2) Require d fo r stability . Fo r v alu e g i ve n, c ap acitor mu st be soli d ta nta l um. If alum iniu m ele ctr onics are used, at le as t 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.
