Standard -6V linear voltage regulators for electronic circuits

Manufacturer: ['fairchild', 'onsemi', 'rochester']

series introduction

The KA7906 Series is a family of high-performance, negative voltage linear regulators designed to deliver stable and reliable power supply solutions for a wide range of electronic applications. Known for their robust design and exceptional thermal performance, these regulators are engineered to provide a fixed output voltage of -6V, making them ideal for systems requiring precise negative voltage regulation. With a maximum output current of 1.5A, the KA7906 Series ensures consistent performance even under demanding load conditions, making it a versatile choice for both industrial and consumer electronics.

One of the standout features of the KA7906 Series is its advanced thermal and short-circuit protection mechanisms. These regulators are equipped with internal thermal shutdown and current limiting circuits, which safeguard the device and the connected circuitry from overheating and overcurrent conditions. This enhances the overall reliability and longevity of the system, particularly in high-stress environments. Additionally, the series boasts a low dropout voltage, ensuring efficient operation even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage, which is critical for battery-powered and energy-sensitive applications.

The KA7906 Series is housed in a compact and durable TO-220 package, which not only facilitates easy integration into various circuit designs but also provides excellent heat dissipation properties. This makes the series well-suited for applications where space constraints and thermal management are critical considerations. The regulators are also designed to operate over a wide input voltage range, further enhancing their adaptability across different use cases.

Typical applications for the KA7906 Series include power supplies for audio amplifiers, industrial control systems, and automotive electronics, where stable negative voltage regulation is essential. They are also widely used in telecommunications equipment, medical devices, and instrumentation systems, where reliability and precision are paramount. With its combination of high performance, robust protection features, and compact design, the KA7906 Series is a trusted solution for engineers seeking dependable negative voltage regulation in their designs.
