DESCRIPTION

The series of fixed-negative voltage monolithic integrated circuit voltage regulator is designed to complement LM79Mxx series in a wide range of applications. These applications include on-card regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation.

Each of these regulators can deliver up to 0.5A of output current. The internal limiting and thermal shutdown features of these regulators make them essentially immune to overload. In addition to use as fixed-voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable output voltages and current and also as the power pass element in precision regulators.
