The MC7808CTG is a monolithic integrated circuit designed as a fixed-voltage regulator providing a stable 8.0V output. It operates with an input voltage from 10.5V to 23V and can supply an output current of over 1.0A with adequate heatsinking. Key characteristics include a typical dropout voltage of 2.0V at 1.0A, a quiescent current of 3.3 mA, and a minimum ripple rejection of 56 dB. The device features internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area compensation, ensuring robust operation without external components. It is ideal for a wide variety of applications, including local on-card regulation and powering logic systems or instrumentation.
