BA178M06FP-E2

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The BA178M06FP-E2 is a fixed-output linear voltage regulator from the ROHM BA78M series, housed in a surface-mount TO-252-3 package. It provides a stable 6 V output with a maximum current capacity of 500 mA. The device operates within an input voltage range of 8.5 V to 21 V and supports a power dissipation of up to 10 W. Electrical specifications include a line regulation of 10 mV, load regulation of 20 mV, and a typical power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of 78 dB. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
