L78L12ACUTR Datasheet PDF - ST Microelectronics

●The L78L series 3-terminal Positive Regulator employs internal current limiting and thermal shutdown, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat-sink is provided, it can deliver up to 100mA output current. It is intended as fixed voltage regulator in a wide range of applications including local or on-card regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. In addition, it can be used with power pass elements to make high-current voltage regulators. This device used as Zener diode/resistor combination replacement, offers e improvement along with lower quiescent current and lower noise.

● Short-circuit protection

● No external components are required
