Electrical Characteristics (LM7806)
Refer to the test circuit, -40°C < T
J
< 125°C, I
O
= 500 mA, V
I
= 11 V, C
I
= 0.33 μF, C
O
= 0.1 μF, unless otherwise spec-
ified.
Notes:
4. Load and line regulation are specified at constant junction temperature. Changes in V
O
due to heating effects must
be taken into account separately. Pulse testing with low duty is used.
5. These parameters, although guaranteed, are not 100% tested in production.
