Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee Specific Performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. Note 2: Refer to Typical Performance Characteristics and Design Considerations for details. Note 3:Regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature by pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects must be taken into account.

Design The LM79XX fixed voltage regulatorseries has thermal Considerations excessive power dissipation, inter-Where: overload protection from
nal short circuitprotectionwhich limitsthe circuit'smaximum current, and output transistor safe-area compensation for reducingthe outputcurrentas the voltageacross the pass transistor is increased. Although the internal power dissipation is limited, the junction temperature ust be kept below the maximum m specified temperature (125 C) in order to meet data sheet specifi cations. To calculate the maximum junction temperature or heat sink required, the following thermal resistance values should be used: Typ i JC C/W 3.0 TJ Max b TA or Max i JC C/W 5.0 TJ Max TA Typ i JA C/W 60 Max i JA C/W 40 TJ TA PD i JA i JC i CA i CS i SA

The bypass capacitors, (2.2 o n the input, 1.0 m F m Fonth e output)should be ceramicor solid tantalumwhich have good high frequency characteristics. If aluminum electrolytics are used, theirvaluesshouldbe 10 m or larger.The F bypass capacitorsshould be mountedwith the shortest leads, and if possible,directlyacross the regulatorterminals.
