L78L05ACZ datasheet by STMicroelectronics

L78L05ACZ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the L78L05ACZ can handle?
  The maximum input voltage for the L78L05ACZ is 35V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• How much current can the L78L05ACZ supply?
  The L78L05ACZ can supply up to 100mA of output current, but it's recommended to derate the output current based on the input voltage and ambient temperature.
• What is the dropout voltage of the L78L05ACZ?
  The dropout voltage of the L78L05ACZ is typically around 2V, which means the input voltage should be at least 2V higher than the output voltage for proper regulation.
• Is the L78L05ACZ short-circuit protected?
  Yes, the L78L05ACZ has built-in short-circuit protection, which limits the output current in case of a short circuit.
• Can I use the L78L05ACZ in a high-temperature environment?
  The L78L05ACZ is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the output current and voltage regulation may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and ensure proper heat sinking.
