The 78L08 is a Linear Voltage Regulators (LDO) manufactured by GUOXIN JIAPIN SEMICONDUCTOR that features an SOT-89 package and is compliant with RoHS directives. It is a three-terminal positive voltage regulator with a 1.5 A output current and an adjustable or fixed 5 V output voltage. It has a regulated 0.1 V to 15 V input range, low dropout voltage, and high PSRR. It also offers superior line and load regulation, low noise, and excellent stability over environmental and line variations. Furthermore, it has a thermal shutdown, current limit protection, and the ability to withstand output short circuit for a long duration without damage. This makes it ideal for powering a variety of devices operating at low input voltages.
