FAQs

What is L7915CT?

The L7915CT is a three-terminal negative voltage regulator integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is designed to provide a regulated output voltage of -15 volts with a maximum output current of 1.5A. The L7915CT is commonly used in applications requiring a stable and precise negative voltage supply, such as in industrial equipment, instrumentation, and audio amplifiers.

How Does L7915CT Work?

The L7915CT operates by regulating the input voltage to provide a constant and stable output voltage of -15 volts. It employs internal circuitry to compare the actual output voltage to a reference voltage, adjusting the output as necessary to maintain the desired -15V output. The device also includes built-in thermal shutdown and current limiting protection features to ensure safe operation.

How Many Pins does L7915CT have and What are the Functions of the Pinout Configuration?

The L7915CT is housed in a TO-220 package, which contains three leads:

  • Input (VIN): This is the input voltage pin, which typically connects to the positive supply voltage.
  • Ground (GND): This pin is connected to the ground or common reference point of the circuit.
  • Output (VOUT): The output pin provides the regulated -15V voltage to power the external circuitry.

What are the Pros and Cons of L7915CT?

Pros:

  • Stable Output: Provides a stable and precise -15V output voltage for the connected circuitry.
  • Thermal Shutdown Protection: Includes a feature that shuts down the regulator in the event of excessive heat, protecting the IC and the connected devices.
  • Current Limiting: Protects against overcurrent conditions, enhancing reliability.
  • Simple to Use: Three-terminal design simplifies the integration of the regulator into various applications.

Cons:

  • Heat Dissipation: May require a heat sink for high-power applications due to thermal considerations.
  • Efficiency: Linear regulators like the L7915CT can be less efficient compared to switching regulators, especially with high voltage differentials.

Are There Any Equivalents/Alternatives to L7915CT for Recommendation?

  • The LM7915CT from Texas Instruments is an equivalent negative voltage regulator to the L7915CT.
  • An alternative to the L7915CT is the MC7915CT from ON Semiconductor.
