The LM78M05CDTX/NOPB is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the LM78xx series. It is a fixed output voltage regulator designed to provide a regulated +5V DC power supply. Here is an overview of its key features and functionalities:
1. Fixed Output Voltage: The LM78M05CDTX/NOPB offers a fixed output voltage of +5V DC. This ensures a stable power supply, making it suitable for various applications.
2. Input Voltage Range: It can accept a wide input voltage range from a minimum of 7V to a maximum of 25V DC. This flexibility allows for compatibility with different power sources.
3. Output Current Capacity: This IC has a maximum output current capacity of 0.5A (500mA). It is capable of providing sufficient current for low to moderate power applications.
4. Internal Thermal Overload Protection: The LM78M05CDTX/NOPB incorporates internal thermal overload protection. If the temperature of the IC rises above its safe operating limit, it automatically reduces its output current to prevent damage due to excessive heat.
5. Internal Short Circuit Current Limit: In the event of a short circuit on the output side, the IC features an internal short circuit current limit mechanism. It helps protect the device from excessive current flow which could potentially damage the IC and connected components
