Details

The KA78XX/KA78XXA series of three-terminal positive regulator are available in the TO-220/D-PAK package and with several fixed output voltages, making them useful in a wide range of applications. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut down and safe operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.Features• Output Current up to 1A• Output Voltages of 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24V• Thermal Overload Protection• Short Circuit Protection• Output Transistor Safe Operating Area Protection

FAQs

What is KA7812A?

The KA7812A is a fixed 12V voltage regulator integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It is designed to provide a stable 12V output voltage from a higher input voltage source, making it suitable for various power supply and voltage regulation applications.

How Does KA7812A Work?

The KA7812A works by taking an input voltage that is higher than 12V and regulating it down to a stable 12V output. It does this through internal circuitry that compares the output voltage to a reference and adjusts the internal pass transistor to maintain a constant output voltage. This provides a consistent and reliable 12V supply for connected circuitry.

How Many Pins does KA7812A have and What are the Functions of the Pinout Configuration?

The KA7812A is housed in a standard 3-pin TO-220 package. The pinout configuration includes:

  • Input (Vin): The input pin for the higher voltage source.
  • Ground (GND): The ground pin for the regulator.
  • Output (Vout): The regulated 12V output pin.

What are the Pros and Cons of KA7812A?

Pros:

  • Fixed Output Voltage: Provides a stable 12V output, eliminating the need for external voltage regulation circuitry.
  • Simple to Use: Requires minimal external components for basic voltage regulation applications.
  • Thermal Protection: Includes built-in thermal shutdown protection to prevent IC damage due to overtemperature conditions.
  • Cost-Effective: Offers a cost-effective solution for generating a regulated 12V supply.

Cons:

  • Fixed Output Voltage: The fixed 12V output may not be suitable for applications requiring variable output voltage.
  • Heat Dissipation: In applications with high input-output differentials, the regulator may require a heat sink for proper heat dissipation.
  • Power Dissipation: The regulator may dissipate significant power and generate heat, especially when dropping a high input voltage to 12V.

Are There Any Equivalents/Alternatives to KA7812A for Recommendation?

  • The LM7812 from Texas Instruments is an equivalent to the KA7812A with similar electrical characteristics.
  • Alternatives to the KA7812A include the UA7812 from STMicroelectronics and the L7812CV from STMicroelectronics.
