DESCRIPTION
This LM7905 series of fixed-negative voltage monolithic
integrated circuit voltage regulator is designed to
complement LM7805 series 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 1.5A of output current. The internal
limiting and thermal shutdown features of these regulators
make them essentially 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 current and also as the power pass element in precision
regulators.
