3-TERMINAL NEGATIVE VOLTAGE REGULATOR
LM7912J3
Description
The LM7912J3 series of three-terminal negative regulators are available in
TO-252
the TO-252 package. These regulators can provide local on-card regulation,
eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation.
Each employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe operating area protection, making it
essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1A output current.
Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external
components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.
