The MC7809ACTG is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the voltage regulator family. It is a fixed-output positive voltage regulator that provides a constant output voltage of +9 volts. Here is an overview of the key features and functions of the MC7809ACTG:
1. Voltage Regulation: The MC7809ACTG regulates the input voltage and provides a stable output voltage of +9V, ensuring consistent and reliable power supply to connected devices.
2. Output Current: This component has a maximum output current rating of 1.0 ampere (A). It can deliver up to 1A of current to the load without significantly affecting the output voltage.
3. Fixed Output Voltage: The output voltage of the MC7809ACTG is preset and remains constant at +9 volts. This eliminates the need for external components for voltage regulation, making it easier to integrate into various electronic circuits.
4. Thermal Overload Protection: The MC7809ACTG includes internal thermal overload protection mechanisms. When the device starts to overheat due to excessive current or ambient temperature, it automatically shuts down to prevent damage. This feature enhances the safety and reliability of the voltage regulator.
5. Wide Input Voltage Range: It can accept a wide range of input voltages, from 11.5 volts to 35 volts. This makes it compatible with a variety of power sources, such as batteries, AC adapters, and DC power supplies
