LM78L05ACM datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM78L05ACM Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LM78L05ACM can handle?
  The LM78L05ACM can handle input voltages up to 35V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 20V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, it's recommended to use a minimum of 10uF capacitor at the input and a minimum of 10uF capacitor at the output, with an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of less than 5 ohms.
• What is the maximum current that the LM78L05ACM can supply?
  The LM78L05ACM can supply up to 100mA of current, but it's recommended to keep the output current below 50mA for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I protect the LM78L05ACM from overheating?
  To protect the LM78L05ACM from overheating, ensure good airflow around the device, use a heat sink if necessary, and keep the input voltage and output current within the recommended limits.
• Can I use the LM78L05ACM in a high-temperature environment?
  The LM78L05ACM is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage as the temperature increases to prevent overheating.
