The LM78M05-MIL device is a fixed voltage regulator that needs no external feedback resistors in order to set the output voltage. Input. Output capacitors are not required for the device to be stable. However, input capacitance helps filter noise from the supply and output capacitance improves the transient response.
For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 1 as the input parameters.
PARAMETER | VALUE |
---|---|
CIN | 0.33 µF |
COUT | 0.1 µF |
Regardless of the output voltage option being used (5 V, 12 V, 15 V), the input voltage must be at least 2 V greater to ensure proper regulation (7 V, 14 V, 17 V).
Depending on the input-output voltage differential, the output current must be limited to ensure maximum power dissipation is not exceeded. The graph in Figure 1 shows the appropriate current limit for a variety of conditions.
If no power supply filter capacitor is used or if the device is placed more than four inches away from the capacitor of the power supply, an additional capacitor placed at the input pin of the device helps bypass noise.
This device is designed to be stable with no output capacitance and can be omitted from the design if needed. However if large changes in load are expected, an output capacitor is recommended to improve the transient response.
