Description
The ST L78M12 is a three-terminal positive regulator in DPAK packages with several fixed output voltages that can be used in a variety of applications. These regulators can provide local on-card regulation, avoiding the distribution issues that single-point regulation causes. Internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe area protection are used in each type, making it virtually indestructible. They can deliver more than 0.5 A output current if adequate heat sinking is provided. Despite being designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used in conjunction with external components to produce adjustable voltages and currents.
