description
the ka78xxe/ka78xxae series of three-terminal positive
regulator are available in the to-220/d-pak 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 adequate heat sinking is provided, they can
deliver over 1a output current. although designed primarily
as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be
used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages
and currents.
