The MC79M08BTG part from ON Semiconductor is a three-terminal fixed output negative voltage regulator with an output voltage of -8 V. This regulator is designed to provide excellent regulation characteristics while operating in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C. It has a maximum output current of 500 mA and a maximum power dissipation of 750 mW at a junction temperature of +125°C. The device is designed to meet the Standard Mechanical Outline of TO-220AB, CAS579 and HPS packages, simplifying the process of mounting the device on Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). The MC79M08BTG offers protection against damage due to short circuits, overload, and reversed wiring.
