The MC79M05BDTG is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component, specifically a voltage regulator, belonging to the MC79Mxx series. It is designed to provide a fixed negative output voltage of -5 volts with a maximum output current of 0.5 amperes.
Key Features:
1. Voltage Regulation: The MC79M05BDTG regulates the input voltage and ensures a constant -5V output, even when the input voltage varies. This stability is essential for powering sensitive electronic devices that require a consistent voltage supply.
2. Fixed Output Voltage: With a fixed output voltage of -5V, this IC is suitable for various applications where a negative voltage rail is necessary, such as in certain amplifiers, analog circuits, or control systems.
3. Maximum Output Current: The device can deliver a maximum output current of 0.5A, providing sufficient power for a wide range of low to moderate current applications.
4. TO-252-3 Package: The IC comes in a TO-252-3 package, also known as a DPAK (Discrete Package), which provides good thermal dissipation and mechanical strength, making it suitable for various circuit board layouts.
5. Thermal Protection: MC79M05BDTG incorporates thermal protection mechanisms to prevent damage due to excessive heat. If the device temperature exceeds the safe operating limit, it shuts down temporarily until the temperature reduces to a safe level
