The very low-dropout voltage (0.2 V) and low
quiescent current make it particularly suitable for
low-noise, low-power applications and in battery-
powered systems.
This device is pin-to-pin compatible with the L78L
series. Furthermore, in the 8-pin configuration
(SO-8), it uses a shutdown logic control (pin 5,
TTL compatible). This means that when the
device is used as a local regulator, a part of the
board can be put in standby, decreasing the total
power consumption. In the three-terminal
configuration (TO-92), the device is always in on-
state. It requires a 2.2 µF capacitor for stability,
reducing the component size and cost.

1. Our SO-8 package, used for voltage regulators, is modified internally to have pins 2, 3, 6 and 7 electrically
fused to the die attach pad. This frame decreases the total thermal resistance of the package and
increases its ability to dissipate power when an appropriate area of copper on the printed circuit board is
available for heatsinking. The external dimensions are the same as SO-8 standard.

Note:
If the INHIBIT pin is left floating, the regulator is in ON mode. However, when the inhibit
function is not used, it should be grounded to avoid any noise.
