NTE967

Linear Integrated Circuit

Voltage Regulator, Negative, –12V, 1A

Description:

The NTE967 is a negative voltage regulator in a TO220 type package that employs current limiting,

thermal shutdown, and safe–area compensation which makes it remarkably rugged under most oper-

ating conditions. With adequate heat–sinking they can deliver output currents in excess of 1.0 am-

peres.

Features:

D Thermal Short Circuit and safe Area Protection

D High Ripple Rejection

Absolute Maximum Ratings:

–40V
