Frequently Asked Questions
What output voltage and current does the L78L05ABZ provide?
The L78L05ABZ delivers a fixed 5V regulated output with up to 100mA continuous output current, making it suitable for low-power analog and digital circuits requiring a stable 5V supply.
What is the input voltage range for the L78L05ABZ?
It accepts an input voltage from 7V to 20V, with an absolute maximum rating of 30V. A minimum 2V headroom above the 5V output is needed to maintain regulation given the 1.7V typical dropout.
What package does the L78L05ABZ use?
The L78L05ABZ is supplied in a TO-92 through-hole package, a three-pin plastic transistor outline that is easy to solder by hand and widely used in prototyping and educational designs.
Does the L78L05ABZ have any built-in protection features?
Yes, it includes internal thermal overload protection and short-circuit current limiting, which prevent damage to the device and the load circuit under abnormal operating conditions without requiring external protection components.
What are common alternatives to the L78L05ABZ?
Compatible alternatives include the MC78L05AC from ON Semiconductor and the UA78L05 from Texas Instruments, all sharing the same TO-92 pinout, 5V fixed output, and 100mA current rating for easy drop-in replacement.
