L7806ACV datasheet by STMicroelectronics

L7806ACV Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the L7806ACV?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the L7806ACV is 35V. Exceeding this voltage can cause damage to the device.
• How much current can the L7806ACV supply?
  The L7806ACV can supply up to 1.5A of output current. However, it's recommended to derate the output current based on the ambient temperature and input voltage.
• What is the dropout voltage of the L7806ACV?
  The dropout voltage of the L7806ACV is typically around 2V. This means that the input voltage must be at least 2V higher than the output voltage for proper regulation.
• Is the L7806ACV short-circuit protected?
  Yes, the L7806ACV has built-in short-circuit protection. If the output is short-circuited, the device will limit the output current to prevent damage.
• Can I use the L7806ACV in a high-temperature environment?
  The L7806ACV is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, the device's performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and ensure proper heat sinking in high-temperature applications.
