Electrical Characteristics (LM7915) (Continued)

(VI = -23V, IO = 500mA, 0°C ≤TJ ≤ +125°C, CI =2.2μF, CO =1μF, unless otherwise specified.)

Note:

1. Load and line regulation are specified at constant junction temperature. Changes in VO due to heating effects must be taken

into account separately. Pulse testing with low duty is used.
