MC7912BD2TR4G

onsemi · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · D2PAK

MC7912BD2TR4G from onsemi, in a D2PAK. 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 Ground reference. Common ground required between input and output voltages. In the D2PAK package, the heatsink tab (shown as terminal 4 in the case outline) is internally connected to Pin 2 (Input), NOT to this ground pin.
2 VI power_in Negative input voltage. Must remain typically 2.0 V more negative than VO even during the high point of the input ripple (dropout ≈ 1.3 V typ at IO = 1.0 A). Absolute maximum VI = −35 Vdc for the −12 V option. Recommended input bypass: 0.33 μF tantalum or equivalent low-ESR cap mounted with short leads.
3 VO power_out Regulated −12 V output. Nominal VO = −12 V with ±4% tolerance (VO = −11.5 V to −12.5 V at TJ = +25°C for the MC7912B grade). Delivers >1.0 A with adequate heatsinking; internally current-limited and thermally protected. A 1.0 μF output capacitor is recommended for stability and transient response.
