L79L12ACUTR

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89-3

L79L12ACUTR from STMicroelectronics, in a SOT-89-3. 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 Ground / common reference. Since this is a NEGATIVE regulator, GND is the most positive terminal of the device relative to VIN and VOUT.
2 VIN power_in Unregulated negative input voltage. For the -12 V variant (L79L12AC) operating range is approximately -14.5 V to -27 V; absolute maximum is -35 V. A 0.33 µF input capacitor to GND is recommended.
3 VOUT power_out Regulated -12 V negative output (typ. -12 V, min -11.5 V, max -12.5 V at TJ = 25 °C). Sources up to 100 mA. A 0.1 µF output capacitor to GND is recommended for stability.
