L7812/LM7812 Voltage Regulator

DESCRIPTION

is a 12V voltage regulator that can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1.5 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents.

Features of L7812/LM7812 Voltage Regulators:

• Output voltage:12V
• Max input voltage:35V.
• Max output current:1.5A
• Quiescent (standby) current: 5mA

Applications of L7812/LM7812 Voltage Regulators:

• Circuits requiring steady 12v supply .
• Protection for devices having specific voltage sensitivity.
• DIY projects requiring specific voltage from an existing higher/ varying voltage supply.
