The L7818CV is a three-terminal positive linear voltage regulator manufactured by STMicroelectronics, delivering a fixed 18V output. It supports up to 1.5A output current with a maximum input voltage of 35V and minimum input of 14V. The device features an 8mA static current and a typical dropout voltage of 2V at 1A. Operating within a temperature range of 0°C to 125°C, it utilizes a TO-220-3 through-hole package.
Verify component authenticity against official datasheets due to the prevalence of counterfeit parts in the market. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific manufacturing lot dates if required for environmental regulations. Ensure adequate heat sinking is provided during installation to maintain performance within the specified operating temperature range.
Select this component when a fixed 18V DC supply is required from a higher voltage source. Verify that the input voltage remains between 14V and 35V to ensure proper regulation. Consider the thermal dissipation requirements based on the load current and ambient temperature to prevent triggering internal thermal shutdown mechanisms.
This part belongs to the L78xx series of three-terminal positive regulators. The series offers various fixed output voltages and packages including TO-220, TO-220FP, D2PAK, and DPAK. These regulators are designed to eliminate distribution problems associated with single-point regulation by providing local power conditioning.
