From datasheet
LM7800 Series
Figure.1. Type of regulator based on package
L7800 series of three-terminal and with several fixed output voltages making it useful in a wide range of applications. These regulators can provide local on-card regulation,eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation.
Each type employs internal current
limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially
indestructible.If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can
deliver over 1A output current.
Although designed primarily as fixed
voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to
obtain adjustable voltages and currents. From datasheet
