Product details
Overview
KA78R09CYDTU from ON Semiconductor is a 1A, 9V fixed-output low-dropout linear voltage regulator in TO-220F-4L package with output disable control, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection. It delivers stable 9V power at up to 1A load with ≤0.5V dropout at full current, supporting industrial power rails where input-to-output differential is constrained. Used in embedded controllers requiring clean, enable-controlled 9V supply.
For engineers reviewing the KA78R09CYDTU datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include disable-function timing, dropout under 1A load, thermal resistance (Rθjc = 4.31°C/W), and compatibility with standard TO-220 heatsinking solutions.
Technical Context
This regulator integrates bandgap reference, SOA protection, overvoltage detection, and disable-input logic to gate the pass transistor. The Vdis pin accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible logic levels (VdisH ≥ 2.0V, VdisL ≤ 0.8V) to enable or disable output without external switching.
Internal thermal shutdown activates at +150°C junction temperature, and peak current limiting responds within microseconds during overload. Dropout voltage remains ≤0.5V across -20°C to +80°C operating range at 1A, enabling use with 10–25V input sources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 9.0V ±2.2% (8.78–9.22V), tightly regulated for 9V logic and analog subsystems |
| Max Output Current | 1.0A continuous - supports microcontroller cores, sensors, and interface ICs |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤0.5V at 1A - enables operation with only 10V input for reliable 9V output |
| Disable Threshold | VdisH ≥ 2.0V (enable), VdisL ≤ 0.8V (disable) - compatible with 3.3V/5V GPIO control |
| Ripple Rejection | 45–55dB @ 120Hz - suppresses AC line noise and switching supply ripple |
| Quiescent Current | ≤10mA at zero load - minimizes standby power in always-on systems |
| Thermal Resistance | Rθjc = 4.31°C/W - allows >10W dissipation with standard TO-220 heatsink |
Pinout & Package
TO-220F-4L full-mold plastic package with isolated tab; 4-pin vertical lead frame; pin 1 (Vin) and pin 4 (Vdis) on same side, pin 2 (Vo) and pin 3 (GND) on opposite side; tab electrically connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Input power supply connection | Accepts 10–25V DC input; must be decoupled near pin with ≥10μF capacitor |
| 2 - Vo | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 9V ±2.2% at up to 1A; requires ≥47μF output capacitor for stability |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference and thermal path | Common return for input/output; tab tied to this pin for heatsink mounting |
| 4 - Vdis | Enable/disable control input | Active-high logic: ≥2.0V enables output; ≤0.8V disables output and reduces quiescent current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Output Disable Function | Reduces quiescent current to <20μA when disabled, enabling low-power sleep modes |
| Thermal Shutdown Protection | Automatically disables output at Tj = +150°C and recovers after cooldown - prevents permanent damage |
| Short-Circuit & Overcurrent Limiting | Peak current limit protects against sustained shorts; foldback behavior limits power dissipation during fault |
| Low Dropout Operation | 0.5V max dropout at 1A allows use with minimal input headroom - ideal for battery-backed or multi-rail systems |
| Overvoltage Protection | Clamps internal node voltages during transient overvoltage events - improves system-level robustness |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2940CT-9.0/NOPB | 1A output, 9V, TO-220-3; no disable pin; higher dropout (0.6V typ) | Lacks enable control; requires external MOSFET for shutdown | Choose when disable function is unnecessary and cost is primary constraint |
| TLV1117-90CDT | 800mA output, 9V, SOT-223; no disable pin; lower thermal capability (Rθja ≈ 60°C/W) | Lower current rating and no disable; unsuitable for 1A loads or remote enable | Choose only for space-constrained, sub-800mA applications without enable requirement |
Compared with LM2940CT-9.0/NOPB and TLV1117-90CDT, KA78R09CYDTU uniquely combines 1A current, 0.5V dropout, and integrated disable control in TO-220F-4L - enabling compact, enable-sequenced 9V rails without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for KA78R09CYDTU?
The absolute maximum input voltage for KA78R09CYDTU is 35V. However, for reliable operation at 1A output, the recommended input range is 10V to 25V per the datasheet's electrical characteristics table - ensuring sufficient headroom for dropout while avoiding excessive power dissipation.
Does KA78R09CYDTU require an external output capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, KA78R09CYDTU requires an external output capacitor for stability and transient response. The datasheet specifies Co > 47μF - a low-ESR electrolytic or polymer capacitor rated for ≥16V is recommended, placed as close as possible to pins 2 (Vo) and 3 (GND).
How does the disable function of KA78R09CYDTU behave during power-up?
KA78R09CYDTU powers up enabled by default: when Vdis is left floating or pulled high (>2.0V), output activates after internal startup delay (~100μs). To ensure controlled sequencing, tie Vdis to a known logic level (e.g., microcontroller GPIO) before applying Vin - the device will remain disabled until Vdis exceeds 2.0V.
Can KA78R09CYDTU be used without a heatsink?
KA78R09CYDTU can operate without a heatsink only at very low power dissipation - e.g., ≤1.5W (Pd1 rating). At 1A output with 12V input (3V dropout), power dissipation is ~3W, exceeding the no-heatsink limit. A heatsink is required for continuous 1A operation; Rθjc = 4.31°C/W enables safe thermal design with standard TO-220 clips.
What is the output voltage tolerance of KA78R09CYDTU over temperature and load?
KA78R09CYDTU guarantees output voltage of 8.78V to 9.22V (±2.2%) across full operating conditions: -20°C to +80°C ambient, 5mA to 1A load, and specified input range. This tolerance includes line regulation (≤2.5%), load regulation (≤2.0%), and temperature drift - verified per the Electrical Characteristics table.
