L7805CDT

The features of the L78xx series of positive voltage regulators mentioned in the document include: - Output current up to 1.5 A - Output voltages of 5, 6, 8, 8.5, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 24 V - Thermal overload protection - Short circuit protection - Output transition SOA protection . These regulators are available in various packages such as TO-220, TO-220FP, TO-3, D2PAK, and DPAK, and can be used for local on-card regulation, eliminating distribution problems associated with single point regulation. They also feature internal current limiting, thermal shut-down, and safe area protection, making them essentially indestructible when adequate heat sinking is provided. Additionally, they can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents . The L78xx series of positive voltage regulators is versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications due to its fixed output voltages and robust protection features. .

The maximum output current of the L78xx series of positive voltage regulators is internally limited.

The L78xx series regulators are available in TO-220, TO-220FP, TO-3, D2PAK, and DPAK packages.
