Hello, Welcome to Dasenic

The Onsemi MC7824CTG is a linear voltage regulator that provides a steady output voltage of 24V with a maximum output current of 1A. This device is designed to regulate and stabilize voltage for various electronic circuits, ensuring that downstream components receive a consistent voltage supply despite variations in input voltage or load conditions. Functions 1. Voltage Regulation: Maintains a constant output voltage (24V) regardless of fluctuations in input voltage or changes in output load. 2. Overcurrent Protection: Protects against excessive current that could potentially damage the device or connected components. 3. Thermal Protection: Integrated thermal shutdown feature that prevents the IC from overheating, shutting down the device if the temperature exceeds safe levels. 4. Low Output Noise: Offers low output noise, making it suitable for sensitive applications requiring clean power. Applications - Power supplies for industrial and consumer electronics. - Voltage regulation in audio equipment. - Power maintenance in telecommunications equipment. - Power for microcontrollers and digital circuits requiring a stable 24V input. Alternative Parts - LM7824: Texas Instruments' version of the 24V linear voltage regulator. - LM317: Adjustable voltage regulator from Texas Instruments that can be configured for 24V output. - L7812: If lower voltage is acceptable, the 7812 series can provide up to 12V output but would require a doubling solution for 24V needs. Embedded Modules While the MC7824CTG is typically used as a stand-alone component, it could also be found in various embedded systems as part of larger power management solutions. Common embedded modules may include: - Power management ICs: These can integrate multiple power conversion functions, including DC-DC converters, linear regulators, and more. - Development boards: Some microcontroller development boards may incorporate the MC7824CTG or similar regulators to supply power to off-board components. Related Q&A Q1: What is the maximum current output for the Onsemi MC7824CTG? A1: The Onsemi MC7824CTG can provide a maximum output current of 1A. Q2: Can the MC7824CTG be used in battery-operated devices? A2: The MC7824CTG is best suited for applications with consistent AC mains power input or stabilized DC power sources, rather than battery-operated devices, due to its linear nature which dissipates heat and is less efficient. Q3: What protections does the MC7824CTG offer? A3: The MC7824CTG includes overcurrent protection and thermal protection, which help prevent damage from excessive load conditions and overheating. Q4: What is the dropout voltage for the MC7824CTG? A4: The typical dropout voltage for the MC7824CTG is around 2V, meaning that the input voltage must be at least 26V to maintain a stable 24V output under load conditions. Q5: Are there any heat dissipation requirements for the MC7824CTG? A5: Yes, the MC7824CTG will require adequate heat sinking if the input voltage is significantly higher than the output voltage, or if drawing near the maximum current to prevent overheating.
