Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut down and safe operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.

1. Output current in excess of 1.5A
2. Output voltage of 9V
3. Internal thermal overload protection
4. Output transition Safe-Area compensation
