KA78L05ADTF

The KA78L05ADTF is a linear voltage regulator which can provide a regulated output current of up to 1.5A. It has a wide input voltage range of 1.2 V to 17 V, an output voltage range of 1.2 V to 13.2 V, and a maximum output current of 1.5 A. It is available in an SO-8 package, making it a suitable choice for space-constrained systems.

The KA78L05ADTF is designed to be used in a wide range of applications, including LED drivers, power supplies, data converters, and converters. It offers numerous features, including temperature protection, reverse-battery protection, and a low quiescent current. It is also capable of operating at a low dropout voltage of 1.2 V.

The KA78L05ADTF is a voltage regulator with a simple principle of operation. It works by regulating the voltage across a pair of terminals. When the input voltage is above the required output voltage, the device will reduce the input voltage by dissipating the extra power as heat. This is known as a dropout mechanism. The output voltage is regulated by the voltage divider, which consists of a series of resistors that reduce the input voltage.

The KA78L05ADTF is designed to provide a constant regulated output current. It utilizes feedback control to ensure that the output current remains within a set value, while also keeping the output voltage within a specified range. Its temperature protection ensures that it will not exceed a certain temperature, while its reverse-battery protection prevents damage caused by reverse polarity.

The KA78L05ADTF is an excellent choice for a variety of applications. It offers a wide input voltage range, low quiescent current, a low dropout voltage, temperature protection, and reverse-battery protection. Its simple, robust design makes it a reliable and cost-effective choice for many applications.
