General Description
The KA78XXE/KA78XXAE series of three-terminal posi-
tive regulator are available in the TO-220/D-PAK package
and with several fixed output voltages, making them use-
ful in a wide range of applications. Each type employs
internal current limiting, thermal shut down and safe oper-
ating area protection, making it essentiall y indestructible.
If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over
1A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed
voltage regulators, these devices can be used with exter-
nal components to obtain adjustable voltages and cur-
rents.

Notes:
1. To specify an output voltage. substitute voltage value for "XX." A common ground is required between the input and
the Output voltage. The input voltage must remain typically 2.0V above the output voltage even during the low point
on the input ripple voltage.
2. CI is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power Supply filter.
3. CO improves stability and transient response.
