3-TERMINAL POSITIVE VOLTAGE REGULATOR

The ML7800 series are 3-Terminal Positive Voltage Regulators. These regulators employ internal current-limiting, thermal-shutdown and safe-area compensation, making them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1A output current (Please refer to the "thermal design" portion of application note). They are intended as fixed voltage regulations in a wide range of applications including local (on-card) regulation for elimination of distributution problems associated with single point regulation. In addition to use as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable output voltages and currents.
