This document provides specifications for the L7900 series of three-terminal negative voltage regulators. The regulators provide output voltages between -5V and -24V with a maximum output current of 1.5A. They have protection for thermal overload, short circuits, and output safe operating area. The regulators come in TO-220, TO-3, D2PAK, and ISOWATT220 packages and can be used for applications requiring local on-card regulation or split power supplies. Electrical characteristics including output voltage, line and load regulation, quiescent current, noise, and thermal properties are provided for various models.

OUTPUT VOLTAGES OF -5; -5.2; -6; -8; -9; -12; -15; -18; -20; -22; -24V THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION OUTPUT TRANSITION SOA PROTECTION
DESCRIPTION The L7900 series of three-terminal negative regulators is available in TO-220, ISOWATT220 TO-3 and D2PAK packages and several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications.These regulators can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation; furthermore, having the same voltage option as the L7800 positive standard series, they are particularly suited for split power supplies. In addition, the -5.2V is also available for ECL system. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1.5A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.

L7900 APPLICATION INFORMATION Figure 1 : Fixed Output Regulator.
Figure 2 : Split Power Supply ( 15V/1A).
Notes : 1. To specify an output voltage, substitute voltage value for XX. 2. Required for stability. For value given, capacitor must be solid tantalum. If aluminium electrolitics are used, at least ten times value should be selected. C1 is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter. 3. To improve transient response. If large capacitors are used, a high current diode from input to output (1N4001 or similar) should be introduced to protect the device from momentary input short circuit.
Against potential latch-up problems.
