L7905CV Overview

The L7905CV is a –5 V fixed negative linear regulator from the ST L79 series in a TO-220 package. It provides local on-card regulation, and since it offers the same voltage options as the L78 positive series it suits split power supplies.

Key Features

  • Output current up to 1.5 A
  • –5 V fixed output
  • Thermal overload protection
  • Short-circuit protection
  • Output SOA protection
  • Output tolerance 4 % at 25 °C (C version)

Applications

  • Local on-card negative-rail regulation
  • Split (±) power supplies with an L78 positive regulator
  • Industrial control power supplies
