KA79XX/A
3-terminal 1A negative voltage regulator

Features
Output Current in Excess of 1A Output Voltages of -5, -6, -8,-9, -12,-15, -18, -24V Internal Thermal Overload Protection Short Circuit Protection Output Transistor Safe Operating area Compensation

Description
The KA79XX series of three-terminal negative regulators are available in TO-220 package and with several fixed output voltages, making them useful in a wide range of applications. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible.

If aluminium electronics are used, at least ten times value shown should be selected. CI is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter. (3) To improve transient response. If large capacitors are used, a high current diode from input to output (1N400l or similar) should be introduced to protect the device from momentary input short circuit.
