L78M05CDT-TR

The L78M05CDT-TR is a voltage regulator from STMicroelectronics, designed to provide a stable 5V output. It is part of the L78 series of linear voltage regulators and is commonly used in various electronic circuits to regulate voltage. Key features include:

1. Output Voltage: Provides a fixed 5V output.
2. Output Current: Capable of supplying up to 500mA of current, suitable for many low to moderate power applications.
3. Input Voltage Range: Accepts a wide input voltage range, typically up to 35V, which allows for flexibility in power supply options.
4. Thermal Overload Protection: Includes built-in thermal protection to prevent damage from overheating.
5. Short-Circuit Protection: Equipped with short-circuit protection to safeguard against current overloads.
6. Package: Available in a compact DPAK package (TO-252), which is ideal for surface-mount applications.
7. Dropout Voltage: Features a relatively low dropout voltage, allowing it to maintain a stable output even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage.
8. Regulation: Provides excellent line and load regulation, ensuring consistent output voltage despite variations in input voltage or load conditions.

The L78M05CDT-TR is widely used in electronic devices and systems where a stable 5V power supply is required, such as in power supplies for microcontrollers, communication equipment, and other digital circuits.
