L78L12ABUTR

The L78L12ABUTR is a three-terminal positive voltage regulator from STMicroelectronics. It has a voltage range from 1.5 V to 15 V and an output current of 1.5 A. The device is suitable for applications requiring a consistent output voltage to power different types of circuits. Examples include digital and analog circuits, microcontrollers, and other types of integrated circuits.

The L78L12ABUTR is a linear voltage regulator. It works by regulating the output voltage in proportion to the input voltage. The ratio between the two is referred to as the voltage regulator’s “turn-on voltage”. The amount of current produced by the device is determined by the amount of current flowing through the circuit.

The output voltage of the device is adjusted by setting a series resistor in the circuit. This will control the amount of current produced by the device. The output current of the device can be limited to an appropriate level by using an external limiting resistor.

The device also has protection features to prevent short circuits and overvoltage situations. It will shut off if the output voltage is higher than the input voltage and will prevent excessive current if the load is too low or high. It will also shut off if the device is overstressed.

The L78L12ABUTR is available in a variety of packages. It is typically used in applications such as automotive, consumer, and industrial applications. It can also be used in a number of other applications such as set-top boxes and medical equipment.
