L78L Positive voltage regulators Datasheet - production data Description The L78L series of three-terminal positive regulators employ internal current limiting and thermal shutdown, making them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat-sink is provided, they can deliver up to 100 mA output current. They are intended as fixed voltage regulators in a wide range of applications including local or on- card regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. In addition, they can be used with 62 62 7 power pass elements to make high-current voltage regulators. The L78L series used as Zener diode/resistor combination replacement, Features offers e improvement along with lower quiescent current and lower noise. Output current up to 100 mA Output voltages of 3.3 5 6 8 9 10 12 15 18 24 V thermal overload protection Short-circuit protection No external components are required Available in either 4% (A) or 8% (C) selection February 2015 DocID2145 Rev 24 1/46 This is information on a product in full production. www.st.com 72Contents L78L Contents 1 Diagram . 3 2 Pin configuration . 4 3 Maximum ratings 5 4 Electrical characteristics . 6 5 Typical performance 25 6 Typical application . 27 7 Package information 29 7.1 TO-92 package information . 29 7.2 TO-92 packing information 30 7.3 TO-92 Ammopack packing information 32 7.4 SO-8 package information 34 7.5 SO-8 packing information . 37 7.6 SOT-89 package information 38 7.7 SOT-89 packing information . 41 8 Order codes . 42 9 Revision history . 45 2/46 DocID2145 Rev 24
