L7918C屬于集成電路（IC）的線性+開關(guān)穩(wěn)壓器。由意法半導體集團制造生產(chǎn)的L7918C穩(wěn)壓器 - 線性線性穩(wěn)壓器用于提供穩(wěn)定的輸出電壓，無論負載電流、輸入電壓或環(huán)境因素如何變化，這些輸出電壓通常都要保持不變。它們的工作原理要求輸入電壓維持在高于所需的輸出電壓，而且要超出某個最小量，并且在工作時會將輸入端的任何多余電壓轉(zhuǎn)換為熱量。對于大多數(shù)應(yīng)用而言，雖然這種穩(wěn)壓器的效率低于開關(guān)模式的穩(wěn)壓器，但它們通常更適合對噪聲高度敏感的應(yīng)用。

描述 Description

The L79xxC series of three-terminal negative regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP and D2PAK packages and several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications. These regulators can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation; furthermore, having the same voltage option as the L78xx positive standard series, they are particularly suited for split power supplies. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1.5 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.
