LM78XX/LM78XXA
3-Terminal 1A Positive Voltage Regulator
Features General Description
Output Current up to 1A
The LM78XX series of three terminal positive regulators
Output Voltages of 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24 are available in the TO-220 package and with several
Thermal Overload Protection fixed output voltages, making them useful in a wide
Short Circuit Protection range of applications. Each type employs internal current
Output Transistor Safe Operating Area Protection limiting, thermal shut down and safe operating area pro-
tection, 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 com-
ponents to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.

LM78XX/LM78XXA 3-Terminal 1A Positive Voltage Regulator
Electrical Characteristics (LM7805)
Refer to the test circuits. -40C < TJ < 125C, IO = 500mA, VI = 10V, CI = 0.1F, unless otherwise specified.
Notes:
1. Load and line regulation are specified at constant junction temperature. Changes in VO due to heating effects must
be taken into account separately. Pulse testing with low duty is used.
2. These parameters, although guaranteed, are not 100% tested in production.

Notes:
1. To specify an output voltage, substitute voltage value for XX. A common ground is required between the input and the
output voltage. The input voltage must remain typically 2.0V above the output voltage even during the low point on the input
ripple voltage.
2. CI is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter.
3. CO improves stability and transient response.

ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. Fairchild's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy is also stated on our external website, www.fairchildsemi.com,
under Sales Support.
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufacturers of semiconductor products are experiencing counterfeiting of their
parts. Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of brand reputation, substandard performance, failed
applications, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to protect ourselves and our customers from the
proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild
Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors
are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild's quality standards for handling and storage and provide access to Fairchild's full range of up-to-date technical
and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address any warranty issues that may arise.
Fairchild will not provide any warranty coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is committed to combat this global
problem and encourage our customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distributors.
