MC79L12ABDR2G

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

MC79L12ABDR2G from onsemi, in a SOIC-8. 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 Vout power_out Regulated negative output, nominal -12 V (min -11.4 V, max -12.6 V) at up to 100 mA. A 0.1 uF output capacitor is recommended for stability and transient response.
2 Vin power_in Unregulated negative input supply. For -12 V output, Vin is typically -19 V; absolute max -35 Vdc. Tie together with pins 3, 6, and 7 (all Vin pins are internally common).
3 Vin power_in Unregulated negative input supply (common with pins 2, 6, 7). Tie all Vin pins together at the package for full current handling and thermal performance.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to ground per board layout preference.
5 GND power_in Common ground reference. A common ground is required between the input and output; regulator has no external sense lead.
6 Vin power_in Unregulated negative input supply (common with pins 2, 3, 7). Bypass with a 0.33 uF capacitor at the pin when the regulator is far from the supply filter.
7 Vin power_in Unregulated negative input supply (common with pins 2, 3, 6). Multiple Vin pins carry the input current and improve thermal dissipation.
8 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to ground per board layout preference.
