LM79M12C Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The LM79M12C from Texas Instruments is a 3-terminal negative voltage regulator designed for applications requiring a stable -12V output. This device is capable of supplying up to 0.5A of output current and requires only a single external compensation capacitor. It incorporates internal current limiting, safe area protection, and thermal shutdown features to protect against overload conditions.

 

The regulator offers a preset output voltage accuracy of 4% and features high ripple rejection. It is packaged in a TO-220 power package, suitable for through-hole mounting. The LM79MXX series, including the LM79M12C, is designed for reliable performance in various power management applications.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a typical dropout voltage of 1.1V and a quiescent current of 3mA. The operating junction temperature range is from 0°C to +125°C, ensuring operation under moderate thermal conditions. This component is part of the LM79MXX series, offering fixed output voltages of -5V, -12V, and -15V.
