L7812CV Linear Voltage Regulator

The L78 series of three-terminal positiveregulators is available in TO-220.TO-220FPD2PAK and DPAK packages and several fixedoutput voltages, making it useful in a wide rangeof applications.

These regulators can provide local on-cardregulation, eliminating the distribution problemsassociated with single point regulation.

Each typeembeds internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making itessentially indestructible.

lf adequate heat sinkingis provided, they can deliver over 1 A outputcurrent.

Although designed primarily as fixedvoltage regulators, these devices can be usedwith external components to obtain adjustablevoltage and currents
