Reliable Voltage Regulation for Modern Electronics
The STMicroelectronics L78M15CDT-TR linear voltage regulator represents a cornerstone of precision power management in modern electronic design. This fixed-output 15V regulator, housed in a compact DPAK package, combines robust performance with advanced protection features to ensure stable voltage conversion across diverse applications. As an active electronic component, it delivers consistent 500mA output current while maintaining exceptional thermal stability and operational efficiency.
Key Technical Advantages
Engineered for demanding environments, this linear regulator accepts input voltages up to 35V while maintaining a precise 15V output. Its 6mA quiescent current and 54dB PSRR (at 120Hz) ensure minimal power consumption and noise rejection, making it ideal for audio equipment, industrial control systems, and embedded electronics. The integrated over-temperature, over-current, and short-circuit protection mechanisms provide critical safeguards against common electrical faults.
