Additional Details:

The TS7908CZ is a three-terminal regulator requiring only input and output capacitors for stable operation. The internal thermal overload protection automatically shuts down the regulator if the junction temperature exceeds a safe limit. The short-circuit current limiting prevents the regulator from being damaged in the event of a short circuit at the output. The output transistor safe-area compensation ensures that the regulator operates within its safe operating area, even under varying load conditions. The specific input voltage range and required capacitor values can be found in the product datasheet. This voltage regulator provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for generating a stable -8V supply.
