Description

The 7812AC 12V fixed 3-terminal positive voltage

regulator delivers up to 1.5A of output current with

adequate heat-sinking. The device is equipped with

internal limiting, safe-area compensation + thermal

shutdown features for overload immunity. The

7812AC can be used with external components to

obtain adjustable voltages or currents & can also be

used as the power-pass element in precision highcurrent

voltage regulators. No external components

are needed other than to enhance performance or

increase design flexibility.

Features

 ±2 VOUT tolerance at 25°C

 Greater than 1A output current capability

 Internal thermal overload protection

 Internal short-circuit current limit

 Output capacitor not essential for stability

 Full Military temperature range

 Negative voltage complement is 7912AC
