78M12

Power Management (PMIC)

Linear Regulator12VTO-252

The 78M12 is a standard 12V fixed positive linear voltage regulator in a TO-252 package, capable of delivering up to 1.2A.

Best for

  • General purpose 12V power regulation
  • Local voltage regulation on PCBs

Avoid if

  • High efficiency is required (use switching regulators instead)
  • Input voltage is too close to 12V (requires >14V)

Check before use

  • Thermal dissipation requirements
  • Input/Output capacitor placement
