NTE932
Integrated Circuit
3鈥揟erminal Positive Voltage Regulator
5V, 5A
Description:
The NTE932 is a 3鈥搕erminal fixed positive voltage regulator in a TO3 type package designed for use
in applications requiring a well regulated positive output voltage. Outstanding features include full
power usage up to 5A of load current, internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe area
protection on the chip, providing protection o he series pass Darlington, under most operating condi-
tions. A low鈥搉oise, temperature stable band gap reference is the key design factor insuring excellent
temperature regulation. This, coupled to a very low output impedance, insures superior load regula-
tion.
