L7805 CV 40V 1.5A POSITIVE VOLTAGE REGULATOR TO-220

L7805 CV 40V 1.5A POSITIVE VOLTAGE REGULATOR TO-220

DESCRIPTION

The L7800 series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP, TO-220FM, TO-3, and D2PAK packages and several fixed output voltages, making it useful in various applications. These regulators can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut-down, and safe area protection, making it indestructible. They can deliver over 1A output current if adequate heat sinking is provided. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents.
