This standard KA79M12RTM linear regulator from Fairchild Semiconductor acts like a variable resistor to maintain a steady voltage level. It has an overall accuracy of ±5 %. Its typical dropout voltage at current is 1.1@500mA V. This voltage regulation device"s single output can produce a current up to 0.65(Typ) A. Using the part will provide the power your application needs by requiring a voltage not exceeding -35 V. With a fixed output that has a voltage of -12 V, this is power management at its best. A load regulation of 240mV and line regulation of 80mV is necessary for providing a constant voltage level at your output. In order to ensure safe delivery and enable quick mounting of this component after delivery, it will be encased in tape and reel packaging during shipment. This voltage regulation device has a minimum operating temperature of 0 °C and a maximum of 125 °C. Its polarity is negative.
