Description
These voltage regulators are monolithic integrated circuits designed as 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 the MC78xxCT can deliver output currents in excess of 1.5 ampere.
Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages with currents.

Features
• 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% tolerance
