This regulator can provide local on-card regulation. This eliminates the distribution problems that occur with single-point regulation. It uses internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe-area protection. This makes the L7812CV essentially indestructible. When equipped with a suitable heatsink, the module can deliver an output of over 1A. The module is primarily designed as a fixed voltage regulator.However, it can also be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.
