TC1189RECTTR

The TC1189RECTTR is a linear voltage regulator, which is a type of electrical component that can provide a regulated output voltage from an unregulated input voltage. It is typically used in applications where the power supply will not be able to provide a stable voltage, such as computers or audio components. The regulator is designed to maintain a constant voltage output from an input voltage range of 1.25 to 28 volts. The output voltage is determined by using an internal trimming resistor, which is connected to the adjustment pin.

The TC1189RECTTR is a monolithic three-terminal regulator designed to provide adjustable output voltage, current limiting and thermal protection in a variety of power supply applications, such as switching power supplies, battery operated systems, automotive systems, and portable electronic devices. The regulator is constructed of an N-Channel power MOSFET, a temperature-compensated Zener diode, and current limiting circuitry, all of which are housed in a TO-225 package.

The regulator works by sensing the input voltage and comparing it to the output voltage. When the input voltage exceeds the output voltage, the control circuit switches on the MOSFET and allows the current to flow from the input to the output. When the input voltage is lower than the output voltage, the MOSFET is turned off and the current is blocked from flowing. This keeps the output voltage at the set level.

The TC1189RECTTR offers several features, such as current limiting and thermal protection, which protect the device from overload or overheating. The current limit feature prevents the device from exceeding a certain amount of current, while the thermal protection feature shuts the device off if it gets too hot. The device also offers a wide input voltage range and a low dropout voltage, which make it suitable for use in low-power applications.

The TC1189RECTTR can be used in a variety of applications, including portable audio, computers, medical equipment, automotive electronics, and consumer electronic products. It is an excellent choice for applications that require a reliable and stable output voltage, and its wide input voltage range makes it ideal for use in a range of environments.
