Description
7909 is a voltage regulator integrated circuit. It is a member of 79xx series of fixed linear voltage regulator ICs. The voltage source in a circuit may have fluctuations and would not give the fixed voltage output. The voltage regulator IC maintains the output voltage at a constant value. The xx in 79xx indicates the fixed output voltage it is designed to provide. 7909 provides a regulated supply of -9 V and 1A current.
