Diodes 3 Terminal Positive Voltage Regulator
Manufacturer: Diodes, Inc. / Zetex Designed for Use as a General Purpose Regulator for Distributed Power Systems:The AP78Lxx series supports a wide range of fixed output voltages making them well suited for a broad range of applications, from instrumentation to automation and most solid state electronic equipment.
Key Features: Supply Voltage Range: 7V to 27V - Suitable for use in a wide range of applications, from STB TV to instrumentation. - Supports a Temperature Range: -20°C to +125°C Fixed Voltage Outputs: - AP78Lxx series offers fixed output voltages from 5V, 8V and 12V. Output Current: - AP78Lxx series can drive up to 100mA of current. Device Protection: - AP78Lxx series has built-in thermal overload protection, which prevents the devices from being damaged due to excessive junction temperature. - AP78Lxx series also contains internal short-circuit protection which limits the maximum output current. - AP78Lxx series also offers a safe-area protection for the pass transistor, which reduces the short-circuit current as the voltage across the pass transistor is increased. Few External Components Needed: - AP78Lxx series requires only a couple of external components to complete the circuit versus existing competitor solutions.
