UAZ8L Series Positive-Voltage Linear Regulators Overview
The UAZ8L Series datasheet provides detailed information on Texas Instruments’ range of fixed-voltage linear regulators. The document contains essential details for engineers and professionals who use or intend to use the UAZ8L Series in various electronic applications.
Key Features
The UAZ8L Series stands out due to its flexibility in input voltage range (4.75 V to 35 V), its output voltage range spanning 2.6 V to 15 V (for the legacy chip) and 3.3 V to 15 V (for the new chip), and its ability to supply up to 100 mA of output current. Noteworthy is the series’ quiescent current of 3.8 mA and the embedded features such as short-circuit current limiting and thermal protection that negate the need for external components for stable operation. The regulators are suitable for numerous temperatures, with the legacy chip supporting 0°C to +125°C and the Al version handling a broader range from -40°C to +125°C. The new chip also covers -40°C to +125°C.
Applications
The UAZ8L Series is designed for use in diverse settings, suitable for motor drives, appliances, building automation, flow transmitters, and factory automation and control systems. The flexibility inherent in the series allows for its use in on-card regulation to combat noise and distribution issues associated with single-point regulation. Additionally, they can be paired with power-pass elements to create high-current voltage regulators.
Description and Package Information
The datasheet describes the UA78L series as highly versatile for a wide array of applications, highlighting the absence of need for an external capacitor for stable operation across the load current range. The document details the temperature ranges for various chip versions and provides specific package information such as size and pin layout for different models within the series: SOIC, TO-92, and SOT-89.
