(LM340A) If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver • Line Regulation of 0.01% / V of at 1-A Load over 1.5-A output current. They are intended as fixed (LM340A) voltage regulators in a wide range of applications including local (on-card) regulation for elimination of • Load Regulation of 0.3% / A (LM340A) noise and distribution problems associated with • Internal Thermal Overload, Short-Circuit and SOA single-point regulation. In addition to use as fixed Protection voltage regulators, these devices can be used with • Available in Space-Saving SOT-223 Package external components to obtain adjustable output voltages and currents. • Output Capacitance Not Required for Stability Considerable effort was expended to make the entire 2 Applications series of regulators easy to use and minimize the number of external components. It is not necessary to • Industrial Power Supplies bypass the output, although this does improve • SMPS Post Regulation transient response. Input bypassing is needed only if • HVAC Systems the regulator is located far from the filter capacitor of the power supply. • AC Inventors • Test and Measurement Equipment LM7805 is also available in a higher accuracy and better performance version (LM340A). Refer to • Brushed and Brushless DC Motor Drivers LM340A specifications in the LM340A Electrical • Solar Energy String Invertors Characterisitcs table.
