Description

LM7915 Voltage Regulator LM7915 is a 3-terminal negative voltage regulator. LM7915 needs only one external component — a compensation capacitor at the output. The LM7915 series is packaged in the TO 220 power package and is capable of supplying 1.5A of output current. These regulators employ internal current limiting safe area protection and thermal shutdown for protection against virtually all overload conditions. Low ground pin current of the LM79XX series allows output voltage to be easily boosted above the preset value with a resistor divider. The low quiescent current drain of these devices with a specified maximum change with line and load ensures good regulation in the voltage boosted mode. LM7915 voltage regulator has output of -15V DC and 1.5 Ampere current. Features of LM7915 Thermal, short circuit and safe area protection High ripple rejection 1.5A output current Output Voltage -15V DC 4% tolerance on preset output voltage Operating Junction Temperature Range 0˚C to +125˚C Storage Temperature Range −65˚C to +150˚C Lead Temperature (Soldering, 10 sec.) 230˚C
