79L12

Power Management (PMIC)

Linear RegulatorNegative OutputSOT-89

The 79L12 is a standard fixed -12V negative linear voltage regulator in a SOT-89 package, capable of delivering up to 100mA.

Best for

  • Negative voltage rails
  • Low-current local regulation

Avoid if

  • Load current exceeds 100mA
  • High efficiency is required (use switching regulators instead)

Check before use

  • Thermal dissipation
  • Input voltage headroom
