HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: The NJM78xx family traces its design lineage to the classic three-terminal 78-series positive voltage regulators that became standard building blocks in regulated DC power supplies. New Japan Radio, widely recognized by the JRC marking found on many of its semiconductors, produced the NJM78xx family for use in consumer electronics, communications equipment, audio products, industrial controls, and power-supply circuitry. New Japan Radio later became part of Nisshinbo Micro Devices. The NJM7818FA provides the less-common fixed 18V output used in equipment requiring an intermediate regulated supply above the more familiar 5V, 12V, and 15V rails.
