78L12 12V Positive Voltage Regulator IC

78L12 designed as positive voltage regulators supplying a positive voltage of 10V. These regulator ICs offer very acceptable levels of performance for a wide range of applications. And additionally, to the present, these IC available at an affordable rate and quite easy to use. 7810 consists of only three terminals, i.e. input, output, and ground, they require no external components for electronics basic operation. 78L12 three-terminal positive regulators available within the TO-220/D-PAK package and with several fixed output voltages, making them useful during a wide selection of applications.

Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut-down, and safe operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking provided, they deliver over 1A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices often used with external components to provide adjustable voltages and currents Three-terminal voltage regulators have three terminals namely input as unregulated (Vin), regulated output (Vo) and customary or a ground terminal. These regulators eliminate the need for any feedback connections. In 78L12, the last two digits indicating the voltage output. In addition to this, there are low power variants 78L**.
