MC7900 Series
The MC7900 series of fixed output negative voltage regulators are
intended as complements to the popular MC7800 series devices.
These negative regulators are available in the same seven−voltage
options as the MC7800 devices. In addition, one extra voltage option
commonly employed in MECL systems is also available in the
negative MC7900 series.
Available in fixed output voltage options from − 5.0 V to − 24 V,
these regulators employ current limiting, thermal shutdown, and
safe−area compensation − making them remarkably rugged under
most operating conditions. With adequate heatsinking they can deliver
output currents in excess of 1.0 A.
• No External Components Required
• Internal Thermal Overload Protection
• Internal Short Circuit Current Limiting
• Output Transistor Safe−Area Compensation
• Available in 2% Voltage Tolerance (See Ordering Information)
• Pb−Free Package May be Available. The G−Suffix Denotes a

A common ground is required between the input
and the output voltages. The input voltage must
remain typically 2.0 V above more negative even
during the high point of the input ripple voltage.
XX, These two digits of the type number
indicate nominal voltage.
** Cin is required if regulator is located an
appreciable distance from power supply filter.
** CO improve stability and transient response.

MC7900 Series
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Design Considerations
-10 V
Input
The MC7900 Series of fixed voltage regulators are
designed with Thermal overload Protection that shuts down
the circuit when subjected to an excessive power overload
condition. Internal Short Circuit Protection that limits the
maximum current the circuit will pass, and Output Transistor
Safe−Area Compensation that reduces the output short circuit
current as the voltage across the pass transistor is increased.
In many low current applications, compensation
capacitors are not required. However, it is recommended
that the regulator input be bypassed with a capacitor if the
regulator is connected to the power supply filter with long
wire lengths, or if the output load capacitance is large. An
input bypass capacitor should be selected to provide good
high−frequency characteristics to insure stable operation
under all load conditions. A 0.33 mF or larger tantalum,
mylar, or other capacitor having low internal impedance at
high frequencies should be chosen. The capacitor chosen
should have an equivalent series resistance of less than
0.7 W. The bypass capacitor should be mounted with the
shortest possible leads directly across the regulators input
terminals. Normally good construction techniques should be
used to minimize ground loops and lead resistance drops
since the regulator has no external sense lead. Bypassing the
output is also recommended.

Figure 9. Current Boost Regulator
(− 5.0 V @ 4.0 A, with 5.0 A Current Limiting)
When a boost transistor is used, short circuit currents are
equal to the sum of the series pass and regulator limits, which
are measured at 3.2 A and 1.8 A respectively in this case.
Series pass limiting is approximately equal to 0.6 V/RSC.
Operation beyond this point to the peak current capability of
the MC7905C is possible if the regulator is mounted on a
heatsink; otherwise thermal shutdown will occur when the
additional load current is picked up by the regulator.

Figure 10. Operational Amplifier Supply
The MC7815 and MC7915 positive and negative
regulators may be connected as shown to obtain a dual
power supply for operational amplifiers. A clamp diode
should be used at the output of the MC7815 to prevent
potential latch−up problems whenever the output of the
positive regulator (MC7815) is drawn below ground with an
output current greater than 200 mA.

The quiescent current for this regulator is typically 4.3
mA. The 5.0 V regulator was chosen to minimize dissipation
and to allow the output voltage to operate to within 6.0 V
below the input voltage.

Protection Diodes
Diode D2 prevents output capacitor from discharging thru
the MC7915 during an input short circuit or fast switch off
of power supply.
When external capacitors are used with MC7900 series
regulator it is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes
to prevent the capacitors from discharging through low
current points into the regulator or from output polarity
reversals. Generally, no protection diode is required for
values of output capacitance less then 10mF. Figure 11 shows
the MC7915 with the recommended protection diodes.
• Opposite Polarity Protection
Diode D1 protects the regulator from output polarity
reversals during startup, power off and short-circuit
operation.
• Reverse-bias Protection

PD, MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION (W)
Input Bias Current − That part of the input current that
is not delivered to the load.
Output Noise Voltage − The rms AC voltage at the
output, with constant load and no input ripple, measured
over a specified frequency range.
Long Term Stability − Output voltage stability under
accelerated life test conditions with the maximum rated
voltage listed in the devices’ electrical characteristics and
maximum power dissipation.
Line Regulation − The change in output voltage for a
change in the input voltage. The measurement is made under
conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques
such that the average chip temperature is not significantly
affected.
Load Regulation − The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.
Maximum Power Dissipation − The maximum total
device dissipation for which the regulator will operate
within specifications.
