The MC79M00 series of fixed output negative voltage regulators are intended as complements to the popular MC78M00 series devices.

Available in fixed output voltage options of −5.0 V, −8.0 V, −12 V and −15 V, these regulators employ current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe−area compensation, making them remarkably rugged under most operating conditions. With adequate heatsinking they can deliver output currents in excess of 0.5 A.

Features

• No External Components Required

• Internal Thermal Overload Protection

• Internal Short Circuit Current Limiting

• Output Transistor Safe−Area Compensation

• Also Available in Surface Mount DPAK (DT) Package

• Pb−Free Packages are Available

MC79M12CDT属于集成电路（IC） > 线性 + 开关稳压器。安森美半导体公司制造生产的MC79M12CDT稳压器 - 线性线性稳压器用于提供稳定的输出电压，无论负载电流、输入电压或环境因素如何变化，这些输出电压通常都要保持不变。它们的工作原理要求输入电压维持在高于所需的输出电压，而且要超出某个最小量，并且在工作时会将输入端的任何多余电压转换为热量。对于大多数应用而言，虽然这种稳压器的效率低于开关模式的稳压器，但它们通常更适合对噪声高度敏感的应用。
