Electrical Characteristics

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but do not guarantee Specific Performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: Refer to Typical Performance Characteristics and Design Considerations for details.
Note 3: Regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature by pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects must
be taken into account.
Design Considerations
The LM79XX fixed voltage regulator series has thermal
overload protection from excessive power dissipation, inter-
nal short circuit protection which limits the circuit’s maximum
current, and output transistor safe-area compensation for
reducing the output current as the voltage across the pass
transistor is increased.
Although the internal power dissipation is limited, the junc-
tion temperature must be kept below the maximum specified
temperature (125˚C) in order to meet data sheet specifica-
tions. To calculate the maximum junction temperature or
heat sink required, the following thermal resistance values
should be used:
