Description
The KA78RLOO is an adjustable micro power voltage
regulator suitable for use in battery-powered systems. This
regulator has various functions such as alarm which warns of
a low output voltage, often due to falling batteries on the
input, the external shutdown which enables the regulator to
be switched on and off, current and temperature limiting.

Note :
1. Output or reference voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total
temperature range.
2. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature , using pulse testing with a low duty cycle.

4. Threshold and hysteresis are expressed in terms of voltage differential at the Feedback terminal below the normal
reference . To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change , multiply by the error amplifier gain
= VO / VREF = (R1 + R2) / R2 .
