The maximum input voltage for the L79L09ACZ is 35V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of less than 1 ohm, and a minimum input capacitance of 1uF with an ESR of less than 5 ohms.
The dropout voltage of the L79L09ACZ is typically around 1.5V, but it can be as low as 1.2V for a 5V output and 1.8V for a 9V output.
The L79L09ACZ is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade at high temperatures. Be sure to check the datasheet for thermal derating information.
To calculate power dissipation, use the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout, where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current.
