The SG78xxA/SG78xx series of positive regulators offer self-contained, fixed-voltage capability with up to 1.5 A of load current and input voltage up to 50 V (SG78xxA series only). These units feature a unique on-chip trimming system to set the output voltages to within ±1.5% of nominal on the SG78xxA series with ±2.0% on the SG78xx series. The SG78xxA versions also offer much improved line and load regulation characteristics. Utilizing an improved bandgap reference design, problems such as drift in output voltage and large changes in the line and load regulation, that are normally associated with the Zener diode references have been eliminated. All protective features of thermal shutdown, current limiting, and safe-area control have been designed into these units and since these regulators require only a small output capacitor for satisfactory performance, ease of application is assured. Although designed as fixed-voltage regulators, the output voltage can be increased through the use of a simple voltage divider. The low quiescent drain current of the device ensures good regulation when this method is used. Product is available in hermetically sealed TO-257 (both case grounded ‘G’ and isolated ‘IG’), TO-3, TO-39 and leadless chip carrier (LCC) packages.
