• Wide selection of available fixed output voltages
• Available in space saving SOT-89 package
• Low cost
• Internal short circuit current limiting
• Internal thermal overload protection
• No external components required
• Complementary negative voltage regulators also available
(Six79L00)
• Accurate, ± 2% output voltage tolerance
Description
The Six78L00 series of positive voltage regulators are
designed to provide a range of regulated power supply
voltages for low current applications of up to 100mA.
They are low cost, rugged, easy to use, three terminal
devices with internal current limiting and thermal shut-
down protection and are the low current members of the
popular Six78M00 and Six7800 family..
No external components are required with the Six78L00
in most applications.
These products offer an improved replacement for the
traditional zener-resistor combination, providing better
output impedance, lower internal power dissipation and
lower quiescent current.

• To maintain the specified junction temperature, low duty cycle pulse testing is required for most parameters. All characteristics are measured with a 0.33µF
capacitor across the input and a 0.1µF capacitor across the output.
