STMicroelectronics L79 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.
