Overview
The L78L06ACD13TR is a three-terminal positive voltage regulator from STMicroelectronics. It is part of the L78L series, which is known for its robust design, featuring internal current limiting and thermal shutdown, making these regulators essentially indestructible. With adequate heat-sinking, the L78L06ACD13TR can deliver up to 100 mA of output current. It is designed for use in a wide range of applications, including local or on-card regulation to eliminate noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. Additionally, it can be used with power pass elements to create high-current voltage regulators, and it can replace Zener diode/resistor combinations with improved performance and lower quiescent current and noise.
