The L78L15 series of three-terminal positive regulators employ internal current limiting and thermal shutdown, making them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat-sink is provided, they can deliver up to 100 mA output current. They are intended as fixed voltage regulators in a wide range of applications, including local or oncard regulation, for eliminating noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. In addition, they can be used with power pass elements to make high-current voltage regulators. The L78L15 series used as Zener diode/resistor combination replacement offers e improvement, lower quiescent current, and lower noise.

Features:

• Output current up to 100 mA
• Output voltages of 15V thermal overload protection • Short-circuit protection
• No external components are required
• Available in either ± 4% (A) or ± 8% (C) Selection
