MC79M12BDTRKG

onsemi · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · DPAK-3

MC79M12BDTRKG from onsemi, in a DPAK-3. 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 GND power_in Common ground reference. Must be shared between the input and output voltages of the regulator.
2 VI power_in Negative input voltage. Must remain typically at least 1.1 V more negative than VO (dropout), even at the high point of input ripple. Absolute maximum input voltage is −35 Vdc.
3 VO power_out Regulated −12 V negative output (nominal −12 V, ±4% tolerance; −11.5 V to −12.5 V at TJ = 25°C). Delivers up to 500 mA with adequate heatsinking; a 1.0 µF output capacitor is recommended for stability and transient response.
4 TAB power_in DPAK metal tab; electrically connected to the input pin (pin 2, VI) on this negative regulator family. Provides the primary thermal path to the PCB copper and should be soldered to a heatsinking copper pad.

  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_SMD:TO-252-2
  • 3D model: DPAK-3 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: mc79m12bdtrkg-etched.step / mc79m12bdtrkg-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); mc79m12bdtrkg.step / mc79m12bdtrkg.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:
