Summary
AP78LXX SERIES 3-TERMINAL POSITIVE REGULATORS Rev 10
Description
The AP78LXX Series is a three terminal positive regulator available with fixed output voltages from 5V, 8V and 12V, making them useful in a wide range of applications. When used as a Zener diode/resistor combination replacement, the AP78LXX can improve output impedance by two orders of magnitude, and lower quiescent current. These regulators can provide local on card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. The voltages available allow the AP78LXXs to be used in logic systems. Instrumentation, HiFi and other solid state electronic equipment.
