MC79L12ACPRPG
onsemi · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-92
MC79L12ACPRPG from onsemi, in a TO-92. 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 | GND | power_in | Common ground for the regulator; the datasheet states a common ground is required between the input and output voltages. |
| 2 | Input | power_in | Negative unregulated input; the absolute maximum input voltage for the -12 V device is -35 Vdc, and the input must remain typically 2.0 V above the output even at the low point of the ripple, with a 0.33 µF or larger bypass capacitor recommended if the regulator is far from the supply filter. |
| 3 | Output | power_out | Regulated -12 V output (-11.5 V to -12.5 V at TJ = +25°C for the MC79L12AC); a 0.1 µF output capacitor is recommended to improve stability and transient response. |
