MC79L12ACDR

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

MC79L12ACDR 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 OUTPUT power_out Regulated negative output voltage pin; delivers up to 100 mA to the load with internal short-circuit and thermal-overload protection.
2 INPUT power_in Unregulated negative input voltage pin, internally connected to pins 3, 6 and 7; recommended range −14.5 V to −27 V for the MC79L12.
3 INPUT power_in Unregulated negative input voltage pin, internally connected to pins 2, 6 and 7; recommended range −14.5 V to −27 V for the MC79L12.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection; not connected inside the package.
5 COMMON power_in Common (ground) reference pin for the regulator.
6 INPUT power_in Unregulated negative input voltage pin, internally connected to pins 2, 3 and 7; recommended range −14.5 V to −27 V for the MC79L12.
7 INPUT power_in Unregulated negative input voltage pin, internally connected to pins 2, 3 and 6; recommended range −14.5 V to −27 V for the MC79L12.
8 NC unconnected No internal connection; not connected inside the package.
