The STMicroelectronics L7815ABD2T-TR is a linear fixed voltage regulator designed to provide 15V DC at up to 1.5A. The device is supplied in a plastic surface mounted D2PAK package and compliant to RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive. It is designed to stabilise voltages and regulate currents in products and applications that require precise and reliable control of output voltages. The device includes a short-circuit limiting and thermal overload protection to prevent damage due to surges, overloads, and overheating. The device also includes two voltage comparators that allow for a low output voltage of 7.2V and a high threshold of 6.05V.
