regulators, these devices may be combined with

simple external circuitry for boosted and/or adjustable

voltages and currents. The LM79LXXAC series is

available in the 3-lead TO package, the 8-lead SOIC

package, and the 6-Bump DSBGA package.

For output voltages other than the pre-set -5V, -12V

and -15V, the LM137L series provides an adjustable

output voltage range from -1.2V to -47V.

Typical Applications

*Required if the regulator is located far from the power supply filter.

A 1

μF aluminum electrolytic may be substituted.

**Required for stability. A 1

μF aluminum electrolytic may be

substituted.
