AS78L12RTR-G1

Diodes Incorporated · Dropout Regulators(LDO) · SOT-89

AS78L12RTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOT-89. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 OUTPUT power_out Regulated +12V positive output. Delivers up to 100mA with typical dropout of 1.7V at 40mA and 1.8V at 100mA. A 0.1uF ceramic output capacitor to GND is recommended for stability and to limit high-frequency noise.
2 GND power_in Ground / common return. The center lead is also electrically connected to the large SOT-89 heat-spreader tab; both must be tied to the ground plane, which additionally serves as the thermal path (theta_JC = 28.3 degC/W in SOT-89).
3 INPUT power_in Unregulated positive supply input. Accepts up to 36V (absolute max) and up to 36V under recommended operating conditions for the AS78L12 variant. A 0.33uF input capacitor to GND is recommended, especially when the device is located more than a few inches from the bulk supply filter.
