Negative voltage regulators
Datasheet - production data
Description
TAB
The L79 series of three-terminal negative
regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP and
D²PAK packages and several fixed output
voltages, making it useful in a wide range of
applications.

These regulators can provide local on-card
regulation, eliminating the distribution problems
associated with single point regulation;
furthermore, having the same voltage option as
the L78 positive standard series, they are
particularly suited for split power supplies. If
adequate heat sinking is provided, they can
deliver over 1.5 A output current.

CI is required for stability. For value given, capacitor must be solid tantalum. If
aluminium electrolytic are used, at least ten times value should be selected. C O is
required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter. To
improve transient response. If large capacitors are used, a high current diode from
input to output (1N4001 or similar) should be introduced to protect the device from
momentary input short circuit.
