Frequently Asked Questions
What output voltage and current does the MC79M15BDTG regulate to, and what is the dropout voltage?
The MC79M15BDTG provides a fixed -15 V output at up to 500 mA load current with a typical dropout voltage of 1.1 V. This means the input supply must be at least -16.1 V (more negative than -15 V) to maintain regulation, with a maximum input voltage of -30 V for safe operation.
Which industrial or automotive applications can use the MC79M15BDTG across its full temperature range?
Operating from -40°C to +125°C, the MC79M15BDTG is qualified for automotive infotainment boards, underhood engine control modules, and industrial process control equipment where a stable -15 V negative supply rail at up to 500 mA is needed. The DPAK package dissipates sufficient heat for continuous full-load operation without an external heatsink in well-ventilated designs.
How does the MC79M15BDTG compare to a through-hole TO-220 negative regulator for space-constrained designs?
The MC79M15BDTG in DPAK (TO-252) requires roughly 40% less PCB area than a traditional TO-220 through-hole package while delivering the same 500 mA at -15 V, a 1.1 V dropout, and a -40°C to +125°C operating range. The SMT footprint eliminates lead-forming steps and integrates into standard reflow assembly without additional hardware.
