L7906
The L7906 is a three-terminal negative voltage regulator that provides a stable -6V output from a higher input voltage. It is designed to supply up to 1.5A of current with a high level of regulation and reliability. The L7906 is typically used in various electronic applications where a fixed negative voltage is required.
Key Features:
- Fixed negative output voltage of -6V
- Capable of providing up to 1.5A of current
- High voltage regulation with low dropout
- Built-in thermal overload and short-circuit protection
- Simple to implement with minimal external components
- Suitable for use in power supply circuits
- Output Voltage: -6V
- Maximum Output Current: 1.5A
- Input Voltage Range: Up to -35V
- Dropout Voltage: 2V (typical)
- Line Regulation: 0.01% (typical)
- Load Regulation: 0.1% (typical)
- Package Type: TO-220, D2PAK
- Negative voltage power supplies
- Voltage regulation for analog and digital circuits
- Power management in electronic devices
- Battery-operated circuits requiring negative voltage
- Connect the negative input voltage to the input terminal (IN).
- Connect the output terminal (OUT) to the load or circuit needing the -6V output.
- Ensure the ground terminal (GND) is connected to the system ground.
- If operating close to the maximum current, use a heatsink to manage heat dissipation.
- Ensure input voltage does not exceed the regulator’s maximum rating.
- Proper heat dissipation is necessary to prevent overheating.
- Check polarity to prevent damage to the regulator and connected components.
