These voltage regulators are monolithic

integrated circuits designed fixed-voltage regulators

for a wide variety of applications including local, on

card regulation. These regulators employ internal

current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area

compensation. With adequate heatsinking they can

deliver output currents in excess of 1.0 ampere.

Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, these devices can be used with

external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.

• Output Current in Excess of 1.0 Ampere

• No External Components Required

• Internal Thermal Overload Protection

• Internal Short - Circuit Current Limiting

• Output Transistor Safe-Area Compensation

• Output Voltage Offered in 2% and 4% Tolerance

A common ground is required

between the

input and the output voltage. The input voltage

must remain typically 2.0 V above the output volt-
