Positive linear voltage regulator for the most demanding humid applications

Datel has introduced the LVR-7815 series of linear voltage regulators that can deliver over 0.5A. The LVR-7815 is housed in a hermetically sealed ceramic package that makes it impervious to humidity and the ideal choice to be used in applications where humidity is a concern, says the company. ?The LVR-7815 is a 15V positive fixed voltage regulator. Each unit is 100 percent tested for all grades and across one of three standard temperature ranges: 0C to +70C; –40C to +100C; –55C to +125C. All protective features are designed into the circuit including thermal shutdown, current limiting, and safe–area control. The LVR-7815 regulators are internally trimmed to provide a nominal voltage accuracy of 1%. Other output voltages, ranging from +1.8V, +2.4V, +5V, are also available. All the LVR-7815 grades are manufactured on the same production line at DATEL’s USA facility, which is certified to MIL-PRF-38534 standards. The device is available in a commercial version as well as military versions. RoHS and non-RoHS configurations are available, says the company.
