LM340MP-5.0/NOPB (TEXAS INSTRUMENTS)

The LM340MP-5.0/NOPB is a monolithic 3-terminal positive Voltage Regulator, employs internal current-limiting, thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1A output current. They are intended as fixed voltage regulators in a wide range of applications including local (on-card) regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. In addition to use as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable output voltages and currents.
