Electrical Characteristics (KA7905 / LM7905)

(VI = -10 V, IO = 500 mA, 0°C ≤ TJ ≤ +125°C, CI = 2.2 μF, CO = 1 μF; unless otherwise specified.)

Note:

3. Load and line regulation are specified at constant junction temperature. Changes in VO due to heating effects must

be taken into account separately. Pulse testing with low duty is used.
