NTE963
Linear Integrated Circuit
Voltage Regulator, Negative, 6V, 1A
Description:
The NTE963 voltage regulator employs current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safearea com-
pensation which makes it remarkably rugged under most operating conditions. With adequate heat
sinking they can deliver output currents in excess of 1.0 amperes.
