to heating effects must be taken into account separately. Pulse testing with low duty cycle
is used.

Application Information:
The NTE966 fixedvoltage regulator is designed with Thermal Overload Protection that shuts down
the circuit when subjected to an excessive power overload condition, Internal ShortCircuit Protection
that limits the maximum current the circuit will pass, and Output Transistor SafeArea Compensation
that reduces the output shortcircuit current as the voltage across the pass transistor is increased.
In many low current applications, compensation capacitors are not required. However, it is recommended that the regulator input be bypassed with a capacitor if the regulator is connected to the power
supply filter with long wire lengths, or if the output load capacitor is large. An input bypass capacitor
should be selected to provide good highfrequency characteristics to insure stable operation under
all load conditions. A 0.33F or larger tantalum, mylar, or other capacitor having low internal impedance at high frequencies should be chosen. The bypass capacitor should be mounted with the shortest possible leads directly across the regulators input terminals. Normally good construction techniques should be used to minimize ground loops and lead resistance drops since the regulator has
no external sense leads.

The NTE966 regulator can also be used as a current source when connected as above. Resistor
R determines the current as follows:
5V
IO =
+ IQ
R
IQ ` 1.5mA over line and load changes
For example, a 1ampere current source would require R to be a 5, 10W resistor and the output
voltage compliance would be the input voltage less 7 volts.

VIN VO 2V
The addition of an operational amplifier allows adjustment to higher or intermediate values while
retaining regulation characteristics. The minimum voltage obtainable with this arrangement is 2
volts greater than the regulator voltage.

The NTE966 can be current bolosted with a PNP transistor. The NTE219 provides current to 5
amperes. Resistor R in conjunction with the VBE of the PNP determines when the pass transistor
begins conducting; this circuit is not shortcircuit proof. Inputoutput differential voltage minimum
is increased by VBE of the pass transistor.
The Current Boost Regulator circuit can be modified to provide supply protection against
shout circuits by adding a shortcircuit sense resistor, RSC, and an additional PNP transistor.
The current sensing PNP must be able to handle the shortcircuit current of the threeternimal
regulator. Therefor, a fourampere plastic power transistor is specified.
