L7806ABD2T-TR

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

The L7806ABD2T-TR is a fixed-output linear voltage regulator from the STMicroelectronics L78 series, providing a nominal 6V output with a maximum continuous current of 1.5A. It operates within an input voltage range up to 35V and features a typical dropout voltage of 2V at 1A load. The device incorporates internal protections including thermal shutdown, short-circuit limiting, and safe area protection. Designed for surface-mount applications, it utilizes the D2PAK (TO-263) package configuration.
