L79L05ACD datasheet by STMicroelectronics

L79L05ACD Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the L79L05ACD can handle?
  The L79L05ACD can handle input voltages up to 35V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the L79L05ACD is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 2.2uF, and keep the input and output capacitors close to the device. Also, avoid using long traces and keep the layout as compact as possible.
• What is the maximum output current that the L79L05ACD can provide?
  The L79L05ACD can provide up to 150mA of output current, but it's recommended to keep it below 100mA for reliable operation and to avoid overheating.
• How do I protect the L79L05ACD from input voltage transients and spikes?
  You can use a TVS diode or a transient voltage suppressor in parallel with the input capacitor to protect the L79L05ACD from input voltage transients and spikes.
• Can I use the L79L05ACD in a high-temperature environment?
  The L79L05ACD is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage as the temperature increases to ensure reliable operation.
