L78L Positive voltage regulators Datasheet - production data Description The L78L series of three-terminal positive regulators employ internal current limiting and thermal shutdown, making them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat-sink is provided, they can deliver up to 100 mA output current. They are intended as fixed voltage regulators in a wide range of applications including local or on- card regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. In addition, they can be used with power pass elements to make high-current voltage regulators. The L78L series used as Zener diode/resistor combination replacement, offers e improvement along with lower quiescent Features current and lower noise.  Output current up to 100 mA  Output voltages of 3.3; 5; 6; 8; 9; 10; 12; 15; 18; 24 V thermal overload protection  Short-circuit protection  No external components are required  Available in either ± 4% (A) or ± 8% (C) selection June 2016 DocID2145 Rev 26 1/45 This is information on a product in full production. www.st.com

This particular frame decreases the total thermal resistance of the package and increases its ability to dissipate power when an appropriate area of copper on the printed circuit board is available for heat-sinking. The external dimensions are the same as for the standard SO-8.
