ST Micro L7908CV Negative Voltage Regulator -8V 1A (Pk of 2)

Manufactured by ST Microlectronics - TO-220 Package

Description

The L7908CV three-terminal negative regulator in a TO-220 package has a fixed output voltage of -8V.

These regulators can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. The regulator employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components.
