• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +125°C
• Package Options: TO-220, D²PAK (TO-263), and others

Descriptions:

• The L200C is a monolithic integrated circuit designed as a programmable voltage and current regulator.
• It provides overload protection, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection, making it suitable for robust power supply applications.
• The device allows external programming of both output voltage and current limit using resistors.

Features:

• Adjustable Output Voltage (via external resistors)
• Adjustable Current Limiting (programmable via external resistor)
• Thermal Overload Protection (shuts down if temperature exceeds safe limits)
• Short-Circuit Protection (prevents damage due to excessive current)
• Low Standby Current Consumption
• Wide Input Voltage Range (4.5V to 40V)
• High Ripple Rejection (reduces noise in output)
• Stable Operation with Low-ESR Capacitors

The L200C is commonly used in power supplies, battery chargers, and industrial control systems due to its flexibility and protection features.
