STMicroelectronics L78M09CDT-TR

Description
The L78M series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP, DPAK, and IPAK packages and with 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. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe area protection, resulting in essentially indestructible devices. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 0.5 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents.
