78L24 pdf datasheet (Multi-Cel

These voltage regulators are monolithic integrated circuits designed
as fixed–voltage regulators for a wide variety of applications
including local, on–card regulation. These regulators employ internal
current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe–area compensation. With
adequate heatsinking they can deliver output currents in excess of
1.0 A. Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, these
devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable
voltages and currents.
