KA78M06TU

KA78M06TU is a three-terminal positive voltage regulator designed for a wide range of applications, including positive linear regulators and switching power supplies. As part of the PMIC Voltage Regulators - Linear category, this device is capable of providing a variable output voltage from 3.0V to 18V. It can support output current up to 1.5A and the equivalent dropout voltage is less than 1.0V.The KA78M06TU is a linear regulator, meaning it works by regulating the voltage output across a load by subtracting a small portion of the input voltage. This small amount of voltage is then dissipated as heat, producing very little waste heat. The device is capable of regulating an input voltage up to 25V, which is common for most applications. The KA78M06TU has three terminals: the positive input, the positive output, and the ground. The positive input pin provides the input voltage that is adjusted based on the voltage present on the output pin. The ground terminal provides a reference voltage to compare the output voltage to. The output voltage of the KA78M06TU is set by the internal reference voltage, which can be adjusted via an external resistor and the external capacitor. These two components allow for setting the output voltage of the device, by providing a reference voltage to the input of the device. The output voltage is then accurately regulated by adjusting the output current through the resistor and capacitor values. The KA78M06TU is ideal for use in applications that require a tight regulation in a very small form factor. It is particularly useful in portable and battery powered applications, where space and power consumption are key considerations. It is also popular in applications that require a high current output. In conclusion, the KA78M06TU is a linear voltage regulator designed for a variety of applications, including portable, battery powered, and high-current applications. With its adjustable output voltage, internal reference voltage, and small form factor, the device is ideal for applications requiring high accuracy, low cost, and portability.
