LM79LXXAC Series 3-Terminal Negative Regulators
Check for Samples: LM79L05,LM79L12,LM79L12AC,LM79L15,LM79L15AC
1FEATURES DESCRIPTION
The LM79LXXAC series of 3-terminal negative
2 Preset Output Voltage Error is Less than ±5% voltage regulators features fixed output voltages of
Over Load, Line and Temperature 5V, 12V, and 15V with output current capabilities
Specified at an Output Current of 100mA in excess of 100mA. These devices were designed
Easily Compensated with a Small 0.1μF Output using the latest computer techniques for optimizing
the packaged IC thermal/electrical performance. The
Capacitor LM79LXXAC series, when combined with a minimum
Internal Short-Circuit, Thermal and Safe output capacitor of 0.1μF, exhibits an excellent
Operating Area Protection transient response, a maximum line regulation of
Easily Adjustable to Higher Output Voltages 0.07% VO/V, and a maximum load regulation of
0.01% VO/mA.
Maximum Line Regulation Less than 0.07%
VOUT/V The LM79LXXAC series also includes, as self-
Maximum Load Regulation Less than 0.01% protection circuitry: safe operating area circuitry for
output transistor power dissipation limiting, a
VOUT/mA temperature independent short circuit current limit for
See AN-1112 (SNVA009) for DSBGA peak output current limiting, and a thermal shutdown
Considerations circuit to prevent excessive junction temperature.
Although designed primarily as fixed voltage
regulators, these devices may be combined with
simple external circuitry for boosted and/or adjustable
voltages and currents. The LM79LXXAC series is
available in the 3-lead TO package, the 8-lead SOIC
package, and the 6-Bump DSBGA package.
For output voltages other than the pre-set -5V, -12V
and -15V, the LM137L series provides an adjustable
output voltage range from -1.2V to -47V.
Typical Applications
*Required if the regulator is located far from the power supply filter.
A 1μF aluminum electrolytic may be substituted. V0=5V (5V/R1 + IQ) R2,
**Required for stability. A 1μF aluminum electrolytic may be 5V/R1 > 3 IQ
substituted. Figure 1. Fixed Output Regulator Figure 2. Adjustable Output Regulator

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.
