DESCRIPTION
L4800 series devices are voltage regulators with a
SO T-82 TO-220
very low voltage drop (typically 0.4V at full rated cur-
rent), output current up to 400mA, low quiescent
current and comprehensiveon-chip protection.The-
se devices are protected against load dump and
field decay transients of 60V, polarity reversal and
overheating. A foldback current limiter protects
against load short circuits. Available in 5V, 8.5V, In automotive applications the L4805 is ideal for 5V
9.2V,10V and12V versions (all 4%, TI = 25C) the- logic supplies becauseit can operateeven when the
se regulators are designed for automotive, industrial batteryvoltage falls below 6V. In battery backup and
and consumer applications where low consumption standby applications the low consumption of these
is particularly important. devices extends battery life.

TEST AND APPLICATION CIRCUIT

The output capacitor is required for stability. Though Capacitors must also be rated at all ambient tempe-
the 100 F shown is the minimum recommended rature expected in the system. Many aluminum type

Capacitor effectiveseries resistance (ESR) also fac- To maintain regulator stability down to 40 C, ca-

brand to the next,some bench work may be required talums) must be used.
to determine the minimum capacitor value to use in
production. Worst-case is usually determined at the
minimum ambient temperature and maximum load
expected.
Output capacitors can be increased in size to any
desired value above the minimum. One possible
purpose of this would be to maintain the output vol-
tages during brief conditions of negative input tran-
sients that might be characteristics of a particular
system.
