Working Principle

The L78L05ABZ-AP is a three-terminal, low-dropout linear voltage regulator designed to provide a regulated output voltage, typically 5V, from an input voltage of up to 18V. It utilizes a PNP-type transistor as a series pass element, along with a bandgap reference circuit to provide a accurate, stable output voltage. The regulator employs a simple two-stage architecture that comprises an error amplifier, which compares a voltage output with a voltage reference, and a driver stage that sets the output voltage at the desired level.

This regulator is unique because of its low quiescent current consumption and low-dropout (LDO) voltage characteristics. Its efficiency is improved by the efficient series-pass transistor’s high current transfer ratio, which reduces power consumption while improving transient response time and stability. The pass transistor is further protected by an emitter-follower buffer circuit.

The L78L05ABZ-AP is further enabled with shutdown control, allowing devices to be turned off without having to disconnect the power supply. In addition, the device provides a variety of protections against overvoltage, overheating and short-circuit conditions. This highly dependable device is available in the TO-92, TO-220, TO-263 and SOT-89 packages.
