Additional Details:

The uPC79L08J is a simple and cost-effective solution for providing a regulated -8V power supply. The internal short-circuit current limiting and thermal overload protection features protect the regulator from damage. It is designed for applications that require a stable negative voltage, such as operational amplifiers and other analog circuits. The low dropout voltage ensures that the regulator can maintain regulation even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage. The TO-92 package allows for easy mounting on printed circuit boards.
