STMicroelectronics L78 Series of fixed output voltage regulators are useful in a wide range of applications within the electronics Industry. The three terminal positive linear voltage regulators can remove problems that are related with single point regulation by providing local on-card regulation. The ST Regulator IC can deliver up to 1.5A at the fixed output voltage, which can range from 5 V to 24 V. The voltage regulator offers safe area protection with the addition of internal thermal shutdown and current limiting.

Power Management

The STMicroelectronics L78 series of three-terminal positive regulator is available in TO-220, TO-220FP, D²PAK and DPAK packages and several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications. These regulator can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. Each type embeds internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1 A output current.

Thermal overload protection
Short circuit protection
Output transition SOA protection
2 % output voltage tolerance
