L7906

The L7906 is a three-terminal negative voltage regulator that provides a stable -6V output from a higher input voltage. It is designed to supply up to 1.5A of current with a high level of regulation and reliability. The L7906 is typically used in various electronic applications where a fixed negative voltage is required.

Key Features:

• Fixed negative output voltage of -6V
• Capable of providing up to 1.5A of current
• High voltage regulation with low dropout
• Built-in thermal overload and short-circuit protection
• Simple to implement with minimal external components
• Suitable for use in power supply circuits

Technical Specifications:

• Output Voltage: -6V
• 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:

• Negative voltage power supplies
• Voltage regulation for analog and digital circuits
• Power management in electronic devices
• Battery-operated circuits requiring negative voltage

Usage:

1. Connect the negative input voltage to the input terminal (IN).
2. Connect the output terminal (OUT) to the load or circuit needing the -6V output.
3. Ensure the ground terminal (GND) is connected to the system ground.
4. If operating close to the maximum current, use a heatsink to manage heat dissipation.

Caution:

• Ensure input voltage does not exceed the regulator’s maximum rating.
• Proper heat dissipation is necessary to prevent overheating.
• Check polarity to prevent damage to the regulator and connected components.
