3-TERMINAL 1A POSITIVE VOLTAGE REGULATORSThe MC78XX/MC78XXA series of three-terminal positive regulators are available in theTO-220 package and with several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide rangeof applications. These regulators can provide local onward regulation, eliminating thedistribution problems associated with single point regulation. Each type employs internalcurrent limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentiallyindestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can derive over aA outputcurrent. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can beused with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents. MC78XXI ischaracterized for operation from -40°℃ to +125℃, and MC78XXC from 0℃ to +125℃.TO-220 1 2 3 1 : Input 2 : GND 3 : OutputFEATURES䤎Output Current up to 1.5A䤎Output voltages of 5;6;8;9;10;11;12;15;18;24V䤎Thermal Overload Protection䤎Short Circuit Protection䤎Output Transistor SOA Protection䤎No external components required䤎Output current in excess of 1A䤎Industrial and commercial temperature rangeORDERING INFORMATIONBLOCK DIAGRAMABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGSDeviceMC78XXCTMC78XXACTMC78XXTDeviceMC78XXCTMC78XXACTMC78XXTPackageTO-220TO-220TO-220Operating Temperature0~+125℃-40~+125℃CharacteristicInput Voltage (for Vo = 5V to 18V)(for Vo = 24V)Thermal Resistance Junction - CasesThermal Resistance Junction - AirOperating Temperature Range MC78XXC/ACMC78XXIStorage Temperature RangeSymbolV INV INθJCθJAT oprTstgUnitVV℃/Wθ/W℃℃℃Rating35405650 ~ +125-40 ~ +125-65 ~ +15012.
