L79L08ACZ

The L79L08ACZ voltage regulator is a linear, three terminal negative regulated voltage regulator with a wide operating voltage range. It provides excellent current and voltage stability for supplies between 3V and 18V. It is designed for use with power-sensitive devices in automotive, telecommunications, and a wide range of consumer electronics applications. The L79L08ACZ provides the necessary current and voltage stability for microcontrollers, processors, logic devices, and other low current applications.

The L79L08ACZ is an adjustable linear voltage regulator that features an output current capability of up to 8A. It is available in two packages; an 8-pin SO package with a standard pinout and a 9-pin SOT-23 package with an alternate pinout. The SOT-23 package also offers thermal suppression protection when used with power-limited supplies. The regulator contains an adjustable voltage regulator, an output voltage offset, a current limiter and a thermal protection circuit.

The L79L08ACZ is designed to provide highly stable and repeatable output voltage and current with minimal dropout voltage. It is designed to deliver a low output voltage drop for maximum efficiency and long battery life, even when under heavy load. It offers a wide input voltage range of 3-18V and an output voltage range of 1.2-7.0V. It has a quiescent current of 25μA and a wide temperature range rating of -20°C to 85°C.

The voltage regulation of the L79L08ACZ is accomplished by the combination of two voltage references and two voltage adjustment pins. The two external pins, named reference and adjustment, allow a wide range of output voltage adjustment. The reference pin is used to set the minimum output voltage (1.2V), while the adjustment pin provides fine tuning of the voltage. The voltage adjustment range is 0.443V to 5.56V. The voltage regulator can operate either in continuous or burst mode to optimize power efficiency.

The L79L08ACZ provides several protection features to keep it from being damaged. These include thermal protection, output overcurrent protection, output overvoltage protection, and undervoltage lockout. The thermal protection shuts down the output when the temperature exceeds a preset value. The output overcurrent protection will trip when the output current exceeds its preset value. The output overvoltage protection monitors the output voltage and will trip at a preset level. It also has an undervoltage lockout feature which will stop the output when the input is below the preset level.

The L79L08ACZ is ideal for a variety of power-sensitive applications such as microcontrollers, processors, logic devices, and other low current applications. It provides excellent current and voltage stability while maintaining a low quiescent current and a wide operating voltage range. It also offers a wide range of protection features to protect it from damage due to overloads, overvoltages and extreme temperature conditions. This makes the L79L08ACZ an ideal choice for app developers looking for a robust, reliable and energy efficient voltage regulator solution.
