L7812CP Datasheet PDF - ST Microelectronics

●The L7812CP is a 1.5A 3-terminal positive Voltage Regulator IC can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. This embeds internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection and making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, it can deliver over 1A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, this device can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents.

● Thermal overload protection

● Short-circuit protection

● Output transition SOA protection

● 2% Output voltage tolerance

● Guaranteed in extended temperature range
