L7815
The L7815 is a three-terminal positive voltage regulator that provides a fixed output of +15V. This regulator is designed to deliver a stable +15V output from a higher input voltage source, making it suitable for various electronic applications requiring a regulated positive voltage. It is capable of handling up to 1.5A of current and includes built-in protections against thermal and short-circuit conditions.
