L7824

The L7824 is a three-terminal positive voltage regulator that provides a fixed output of +24V. Designed for reliable and efficient voltage regulation, it is suitable for powering a range of electronic circuits and devices from a higher input voltage source. This regulator can supply up to 1.5A of current and includes built-in protection features to safeguard against thermal overload and short circuits.

Key Features:

• Fixed positive output voltage of +24V
• Capable of delivering up to 1.5A of current
• High voltage regulation with minimal dropout
• Built-in thermal overload and short-circuit protection
• Easy to use with minimal external components
• Ideal for applications requiring a stable +24V power supply

Technical Specifications:

• Output Voltage: +24V
• Maximum Output Current: 1.5A
• Input Voltage Range: Up to +35V
• Dropout Voltage: 2V (typical)
• Line Regulation: 0.01% (typical)
• Load Regulation: 0.1% (typical)
• Package Type: TO-220, D2PAK

Applications:

• Positive voltage power supplies
• Voltage regulation in electronic circuits
• Power management in devices requiring +24V
• Replacement for higher voltage linear power supplies

Usage:

1. Connect the positive input voltage to the input terminal (IN).
2. Connect the output terminal (OUT) to the load or circuit requiring +24V.
3. Ensure the ground terminal (GND) is connected to the system ground.
4. Use a heatsink if necessary to handle thermal dissipation, especially under high load conditions.

Caution:

• Do not exceed the maximum input voltage rating.
• Ensure proper heat dissipation to prevent overheating.
• Verify correct polarity to avoid damage to the regulator and connected components.
