NTE959

NTE959 Linear Integrated Circuit Voltage Regulator, Negative, –18V, 1A Description: The NTE959 voltage regulator employs current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe–area compensation which makes it remarkably rugged under most operating conditions. With adequate heat– sinking they can deliver output currents in excess of 1.0 amperes.
