description
This series of fixed-voltage integrated-circuit
voltage regulators is designed for a wide range of
applications. These applications include on-card
regulation for elimination of 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.
One of these regulators can deliver up to 100 mA
of output current. The internal limiting and
thermal-shutdown features of these regulators
make them essentially immune to overload. When
used as a replacement for a zener diode-resistor
combination, an effective improvement in output
impedance can be obtained, together with lower
bias current.
The µA78L00C series is characterized for
operation over the virtual junction temperature
range of 0°C to 125°C.

†Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only , and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may af fect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable
ambient temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA)/θJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can impact reliability. Due to
variations in individual device electrical characteristics and thermal resistance, the built-in thermal-overload protection may be
activated at power levels slightly above or below the rated dissipation.
2. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51, except for through-hole packages, which use a trace
length of zero.

operation with a load common to a voltage of opposite polarity
In many cases, a regulator powers a load that is not connected to ground but, instead, is connected to a voltage
source of opposite polarity (e.g., operational amplifiers, level-shifting circuits, etc.). In these cases, a clamp
diode should be connected to the regulator output as shown in Figure 6. This protects the regulator from output
polarity reversals during startup and short-circuit operation.

Figure 6. Output Polarity-Reversal-Protection Circuit
reverse-bias protection
Occasionally, the input voltage to the regulator can collapse faster than the output voltage. This can occur, for
example, when the input supply is crowbarred during an output overvoltage condition. If the output voltage is
greater than approximately 7 V , the emitter-base junction of the series-pass element (internal or external) could
break down and be damaged. To prevent this, a diode shunt can be employed as shown in Figure 7.
