DESCRIPTION
The L79L00 series of three-terminal negative
regulators employ internal current limiting and
thermal shutdown, making them essentially
indestructible. If adequate heat-sink is provided,
they can deliver up to 100 mA output current.
They are intended as fixed voltage regulators in a
wide range of applications including local or
on-card regulation for elimination of noise and
distribution problems associated with single-point
regulation. In addition, they can be used with
power pass elements to make high-current
voltage regulators.
The L79L00 series used as Zener diode/resistor
combination replacement, offers an effective
TO-92
output impedance improvement of typically two
orders of magnitude, along with lower quiescent
current and lower noise.

(*) Our SO-8 package used for Voltage Regulators is modified internally to have pins 2, 3, 6 and 7 electrically communed to the die attach
flag. This particular frame decreases the total thermal resistance of the package and increases its ability to dissipate power when an appro-
priate area of copper on the printed circuit board is available for heat-sinking. The external dimensions are the same as for the standard SO-8.
