Linear Regulators (LDO) | MC78T05A

This family of fixed voltage regulators are monolithic integrated circuits capable of driving loads in excess of 3.0 A. These three-terminal regulators employ internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area compensation. Devices are available with improved specifications, including a 2% output voltage tolerance, on AC-suffix 5.0, 12 and 15 V device types.

Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents. This series of devices can be used with a series-pass transistor to supply up to 15 A at the nominal output voltage.
