DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
This series of fixed-negative-voltage integrated-circuit voltage regulators is designed to complement Series
mA7900 in a wide range of applications. These applications include on-card regulation for elimination of noise
and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. Each of these regulators can deliver up to
1.5 A of output current. The internal current limiting and thermal shutdown features of these regulators
essentially make them immune to overload. In addition to use as fixed-voltage regulators, these devices can be
used with external components to obtain adjustable output voltages and currents and also as the power-pass
element in precision regulators.
