L78M00AB/AC SERIES PRECISION 500mA REGULATORS .. .. .. . OUTPUT CURRENT UP TO 0.5A OUTPUT VOLTAGES OF 5; 6; 8; 9: 10; 12; 15; 18; 20; 24V THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION OUTPUT TRANSISTORS SOA PROTECTION 2% OUTPUT VOLTAGE TOLERANCE GUARANTEED IN EXTENDED TEMPERATURE RANGES DESCRIPTION The L78M00AB series of three-therminal positive regulators is available in TO-220 and DPAK packages and with several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications. These regulators can provide local on-card regulation eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 0.5A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The L78M00AB Series of fixed voltage regulators are designed with Thermal Overload Protection that shuts down the circuit when subjected to an excessive power overload condition, Internal Short-Circuit Protection that limits the maximum current the circuit will pass, and Output Transistor Safe-Area Compensation that reduces the output short-circuit as the voltage across the pass transistor is increased. In many low current applications, compensation capacitors are not required. However, it is recommended that the regulator input be bypassed with a capacitor if the regulator is connected to the power supply filter with long wire lengths, or if the output load capacitance is large. An input bypass capacitor should be selected to provide good high-frequency characteristics to insure stable operation under all load conditions. A 0.33F or larger tantalum, mylar, or other capacitor having low internal impedance at high frequencies should be chosen. The bypass capacitor should be mounted with the shortest possible leads directly across the regulators input terminals. Normally good construction techniques should be used to minimize ground loops and lead resistance drops since the regulator has no external sense lead. 11/15 L78M00AB/AC SERIES Figure 13 : Current Regulator. Io = VXX R1 Figure 14 : Adjustable Output Regulator. VO, 7.0V to 20V Vi - VO 2.0V + Id The addition of an operational amplifier allows adjustment to higher or intermediate values while retaining regulation characteristics. The minimum voltage obtainable with this arrangement is 2.0V greater than the regulator voltage. Figure 15 : Current Boost Regulator. R1 = IREQ - Figure 16 : Short-circuit Protection. VBEQ1 IQ1 Q1 IO = IREG + Q1 [IREG - VBEQ1 R1 ] The circuit of figure 6 can be modified to provide supply protection against short circuits by adding a short-circuit sense resistor, RSC, and an additional PNP transistor. The current sensing PNP must be able to handle the short-circuit current of the three-terminal regulator. Therefore, a four-ampere plastic power transistor is specified. 12/15 L78M00AB/AC SERIES TO-220 MECHANICAL DATA mm DIM. MIN. TYP. inch MAX. MIN. TYP. MAX.
