The 78ST300 is a series of wide

input voltage, 3 terminal Integrated

Switching Regulators (ISRs). Employ-

ing a ceramic substrate, these ISRs

have a maximum output current of 3A.

The output voltage is laser trimmed

for high accuracy.

The 78ST300 series regulators

have internal short-circuit and over-

temperature protection and may be

used in a wide variety of applications.
