Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum input voltage for LM78L15ACM/NOPB?
The LM78L15ACM/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 35V. For reliable 15V output regulation, the recommended input voltage range is 17.5V to 30V, providing sufficient dropout margin while staying within safe operating limits.
What is the dropout voltage of LM78L15ACM/NOPB?
The typical dropout voltage is approximately 1.7V at full 100mA load. This means the minimum input voltage should be at least 16.7V (15V + 1.7V) to maintain proper regulation. At lighter loads, dropout voltage decreases.
Can LM78L15ACM/NOPB handle short circuits?
Yes, the LM78L15ACM/NOPB includes built-in short-circuit current limiting and thermal overload protection. The device will automatically reduce output current and shut down if junction temperature exceeds safe limits, preventing permanent damage.
What capacitors are recommended for LM78L15ACM/NOPB?
A 0.33µF input capacitor is recommended if the regulator is located far from the power supply filter. A 0.1µF output capacitor improves transient response and stability. Use ceramic or tantalum capacitors placed close to the device pins.
