This regulator can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. It employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided it can deliver over 1 A output current. Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, this device can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.
As used in the supply regulation stage of the X1M QRP HF Transceiver.
