8 Detailed Description

8.1 Overview
This series of fixed-voltage integrated-circuit voltage regulators is designed for 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 can be used as the power-pass element in precision
regulators.

8.2 Functional Schematic

INPUT

OUTPUT

COMMON

8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 Thermal Overload
When the die temperature increases to unwanted levels, the device will reduce the output current to lower its
temperature. Under heavy loads, the device may alternate between on and off output states to regulate
temperature.

8.3.2 Short-Circuit Current Limiting

In the event of a short circuit, the device will limit its own current to safe levels by lowering the bias voltage of
internal pass transistors. If the device becomes overheated, the thermal overload protection will take over.

8.4 Device Functional Modes

8.4.1 Fixed-Output Mode
These devices are available in fixed-output voltages. See the orderable part list for the desired output.

9 Application and Implementation

NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

The following section shows application details of the µA78xx as a linear regulator.

9.2 Typical Application

+V µA78xx +VO

0.33 µF 0.1 µF

Figure 2. Fixed-Output Regulator

9.2.1 Design Requirements

• Input supply capacitor recommended for filtering noise on the input
• Output supply decoupling capacitor for stabilizing the output

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

9.2.2.1 Operation With a Load Common to a Voltage of Opposite Polarity

In many cases, a regulator powers a load that is not connected to ground but, instead, is connected to a voltage
source of opposite polarity (e.g., operational amplifiers, level-shifting circuits, etc.). In these cases, a clamp diode
should be connected to the regulator output as shown in Figure 3. This protects the regulator from output polarity
reversals during startup and short-circuit operation.

Equivalent

−VO

Figure 3. Output Polarity-Reversal-Protection Circuit

9.2.2.2 Reverse-Bias Protection

Occasionally, the input voltage to the regulator can collapse faster than the output voltage. This can occur, for
example, when the input supply is crowbarred during an output overvoltage condition. If the output voltage is
greater than approximately 7 V, the emitter-base junction of the series-pass element (internal or external) could
break down and be damaged. To prevent this, a diode shunt can be used as shown in Figure 4.

10 Power Supply Recommendations

See Recommended Operating Conditions for the recommended power supply voltages for each variation of the
μA78xx device. Different orderable part numbers will be able to tolerate different levels of voltage. It is also
recommended to have a decoupling capacitor on the output of the μA78xx device's power supply to limit noise
on the device input.

11 Layout

11.1 Layout Guidelines

Keep trace widths large enough to eliminate problematic I×R voltage drops at the input and output terminals.
Input decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to the μA78XX as possible.

(1)
The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.

(2)
RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.

(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.

(4)
There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.

(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.
