Description
The KA278R09 is a low-dropout voltage regulator suitable
for various electronic equipments. It provide constant
voltage power source with TO-220F-4 lead full mold
package. Dropout voltage of KA278R09 is below 0.5V in
full rated current(2A). This regulator has various function
such as peak current protection, thermal shut down,
overvoltage protection and output disable function.
