Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at www.onsemi.com. Please
email any questions regarding the system integration to Fairchild_questions@onsemi.com.

Description
The KA78XXE / KA78XXAE series of three-terminal posi-
tive regulators is available in the TO-220 / D-PAK pack-
age with several fixed-output voltages, making them
useful in a wi de ra nge of appl icati ons. Each type employs
internal current limiting, thermal shut-down, and safe
operating area. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they
can deliver over 1 A output current. Although designed
primarily as fixed-voltage regulators, these devices can
be used with e xternal c omponent s fo r adjust abl e volt ages
and currents.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be opera-
ble above the re co mmen ded operating conditions and s tres si ng the parts to these level s i s not recommended. In addi-
tion, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The
absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. Values are at TA = 25°C unless ot herwise noted.
