wire lengths, or if the output load capacitance is large. An input bypass capacitor should be selected to provide good high -frequency characteristics to insure stable operation under all load conditions. A 0.33 m F or larger tantalum, mylar, or other capacitor having low internal impedance at high frequencies should be chosen. The bypass capacitor should be mounted with the shortest possible leads directly across the regulators input terminals. Normally good construction techniques should be used to minimize ground loops and lead resistance drops since the regulator has no external sense lead.

The MC7800 regulators can also be used as a current source when connected as above. In order to minimize dissipation the MC7805C is chosen in this application. Resistor R determines the current as follows:

$$I_O = \frac{5.0\ \text{V}}{R} + I_B$$

I B ^ 3.2 mA over line and load changes.

For example, a 1.0 A current source would require R to be a 5.0 W , 10 W resistor and the output voltage compliance would be the input voltage less 7.0 V.

The addition of an operational amplifier allows adjustment to higher or intermediate values while retaining regulation characteristics. The minimum voltage obtainable with this arrangement is 2.0 V greater than the regulator voltage.

The MC7800 series can be current boosted with a PNP transistor. The MJ2955 provides current to 5.0 A. Resistor R in conjunction with the V BE of the PNP determines when the pass transistor begins conducting; this circuit is not short circuit proof. Input/output differential voltage minimum is increased by V BE of the pass transistor.

The circuit of Figure 11 can be modified to provide supply protection against short circuits by adding a short circuit sense resistor, R SC , and an additional PNP transistor. The current sensing PNP must be able to handle the short circuit current of the three-terminal regulator. Therefore, a four-ampere plastic power transistor is specified.
