L7900AC SERIES 2% NEGATIVE VOLTAGE REGULATORS OUTPUT CURRENT TO 1.5A OUTPUT VOLTAGES OF -5; -6; -8; -12; -15; -18; -20; -24V THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION OUTPUT TRANSITION SOA PROTECTION DESCRIPTION The L7900AC series of three-terminal negative regulators is available in TO-220 and D2PAK packages and several fixed output voltages. These regulators can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation; furthermore, having the same voltage option as the L7800A positive standard series, they are particularly suited for split power supplies. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1.5A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.

To specify an output voltage, substitute voltage value for "XX". 2. Required for stability. For value given, capacitor must be solid tantalum. If aluminium electrolytics are used, at least ten times value should be selected. C1 is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter. 3. To improve transient response. If large capacitors are used, a high current diode from input to output (1N4001 or similar) should be introduced to protect the device from momentary input short circuit. 7/13 L7900AC SERIES Figure 4: Split Power Supply ( 15V/1A) Against potential latch-up problems.
