LM7800: What happens if I use this component below 0°C?

Part Number: LM7800

I am testing it in a climatic chamber in order to be sure that the regulation is done properly.

Beside regulation there could be any other problem?

In the next production we will switch to a new component (extended), but we would like to send some of our boards to North pole.

Thanks in advance

    Hi Raul,

    LM7800 was designed, tested, and characterized for operation down to 0 C.  Below 0 C the performance of the regulator may or may not meet the performance depicted in the datasheet.  As you suspect the most likely specification for you to notice a shift is regulation accuracy.

    Very Respectfully,

    Ryan
