Transistors

The IC 7906 is a negative voltage regulator with the following specifications:

• Type: Negative Voltage Regulator
• Input Voltage (Vin): Up to 35V
• Output Voltage (Vout): -6V (fixed output)
• Output Current (Iout): Up to 1A
• Dropout Voltage: Typically 2V
• Package Types: TO-220, TO-3, and others
• Features: Short-circuit protection, thermal overload protection

The 7906 provides a stable -6V output from a higher input voltage, and it is used in circuits requiring a -6V power supply. It is often used in conjunction with positive regulators like the 7806 to create a dual power supply configuration.
