NJM7905FA

The NJM7905FA is an integrated circuit (IC) component that functions as a negative voltage regulator. With a maximum output current of 1.5A, this device is capable of regulating input voltages within a range of -8V to -37V to a fixed output voltage of -5V. The NJM7905FA is highly efficient and reliable, making it suitable for various applications in power supply circuits. One of the key features of the NJM7905FA is its low dropout voltage, which refers to the minimum voltage difference required between the input and output for the regulator to maintain a stable output voltage. This characteristic allows the IC to operate efficiently even with small input-output voltage differentials. Additionally, the NJM7905FA offers excellent line and load regulation. Line regulation refers to the IC's ability to maintain a constant output voltage despite fluctuations in the input voltage, while load regulation refers to the IC's ability to maintain a stable output voltage with varying loads. These features ensure that the regulated output voltage remains accurate and consistent. The IC also incorporates thermal shutdown and overcurrent protection mechanisms. The thermal shutdown feature safeguards the device from overheating by automatically turning off the output when the temperature exceeds a certain threshold. The overcurrent protection function prevents damage to the IC and connected components by limiting the output current within safe operating limits. The NJM7905FA comes in a small, industry-standard TO-220 package, allowing for easy integration into various circuit layouts
