GM7900

GM7900 Series 1.5A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE REGULATOR Description The GM7900 series of fixed-negative voltage monolithic integrated circuit voltage regulators is designed to complement Series GM7800 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. The GM7900 series are available in TO-220, TO252, TO-263 packages.

Recommended values are 2µF on the input and 1µF on the output. It is considered good practice to include a 0.1µF capacitor on the output to improve the transient response. These capacitors may mylar, ...
