00 — Overview

What the 78M family does

The UMW78Mxx family comprises three-terminal positive voltage regulators offering fixed output voltages of 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 24 V. These devices support output currents up to 1 A and feature thermal overload, short circuit, and safe operating area protection. Available in TO-252 and SOT-223 packages, they handle power dissipation of 1 W or 2 W depending on the package. Typical applications include power supply regulation in commercial and industrial equipment. Key electrical characteristics include a dropout voltage of 2 V at 500 mA, quiescent current of 6 mA, and ripple rejection of 80 dB at 120 Hz.
