Three-Terminal Positive Voltage Regulator

Product Description
The GS78Lxx Series of positive voltage regulators are inexpensive, easy-to-use devices suitable for a multitude of applications that require a regulated supply of up to 100mA. Like their higher-powered GS78xx Series cousins, these regulators feature internal current limiting and thermal shutdown making them remarkably rugged. No external components are required with the GS78Lxx devices in many applications. These devices offer a substantial performance advantage over the traditional zener diode-resistor combination, as output impedance and quiescent current are substantially reduced.

Features
Wide Range of Available, Fixed Output Voltages Internal Short Circuit Current Limiting Internal Thermal Overload Protection No External Components Required Complementary Negative Regulators Offered (GS79Lxx Series) Available in 5% Accuracy

Applications
Battery Powered Systems Portable Consumer Equipment Portable Computer Radio Control Systems Logic Systems Power Adapter

Typical Applications
Design Considerations
The GS78LXX Series of fixed voltage regulators are designed with Thermal Overload Protection that shuts down the circuit when subjected to an excessive power overload condition. Internal Short Circuit Protection Limits the maximum current the circuit will pass. In many low current applications, compensation capacitors are not required. However, it is recommended that the regulator input be bypassed with a capacitor if the regulator is connected to the power supply filter with long wire lengths, or if the output load capacitance is large. The input bypass capacitor should be selected to provide good high-frequency characteristics to insure stable operation under all load conditions. A 0.33 F or larger tantalum, mylar, or other capacitor having low internal impedance at high frequencies should be chosen. The bypass capacitor should be mounted with the shortest possible leads directly across the regulators input terminals. Good construction techniques should be used to minimize ground loops and lead resistance drops since the regulator has no external sense lead. Bypassing the output is also recommended.

Current Regulator
The GS78LXX regulators can also be used as a current source when connected as above. In order to minimize dissipation the GS78L05 is chosen in this application. Resistor R determines the current as follows: Io =

5.0V R

+ IB

IIB=3.8mA over line and load changes For example, a 100mA current source would require R to be a 50 , 1/2 W resistor and the output voltage compliance would be the input voltage less 7V.
