Linear Voltage Regulator, 7905, Fixed, 3 Terminal, -20V To -7V In, -5V And 0.1A Out, TO-92-3 - 

The LM79L05ACZ/NOPB is a 3-terminal Negative Voltage Regulator features fixed output voltages of -5, -12 and -15V with output current capabilities in excess of 100mA. This device is designed using the latest computer techniques for optimizing the packaged IC thermal/electrical performance. The device when combined with a minimum output capacitor of 0.1μF, exhibits an excellent transient response, a maximum line regulation of 0.07% VO/V and a maximum load regulation of 0.01% VO/mA. The device also includes, as self-protection circuitry - safe operating area circuitry for output transistor power dissipation limiting, a temperature independent short circuit current limit for peak output current limiting and a thermal shutdown circuit to prevent excessive junction temperature. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices may be combined with simple external circuitry for boosted and/or adjustable voltages and currents.
