LM78L12ACM

Texas Instruments · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOIC-8

LM78L12ACM from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VOUT output 12V fixed regulated output voltage pin with 100mA maximum continuous output current.
2 GND power_in Ground reference pin for input and output circuit return.
3 GND power_in Ground reference pin for input and output circuit return.
4 NC unconnected No connection; leave unconnected.
5 NC unconnected No connection; leave unconnected.
6 GND power_in Ground reference pin for input and output circuit return.
7 GND power_in Ground reference pin for input and output circuit return.
8 VIN power_in Input supply voltage pin requiring 14.5V to 27V for proper regulation with 35V absolute maximum input voltage.
