onsemi Voltage Regulators - Linear LV59012M-TLM-H

The LV59012M-TLM-H is a linear voltage regulator IC designed to provide a constant output voltage of 1.2V with a maximum output current of 1A. It features an output ON/OFF function that allows for minimal current drain of 1OºA when the output is off, making it suitable for power-saving applications. The device is housed in an MFP8 (200mil) package, facilitating easy mounting in various designs. This regulator operates with input voltages ranging from 1.6V to 6V for VIN1 and 1.8V to 6V for VIN2. It includes built-in protection circuits such as overcurrent and thermal protection, enhancing reliability during operation. The device can function effectively across a temperature range of -30¬8C to +85¬8C, with a maximum allowable power dissipation of 1.45W when mounted on a specified board. Engineers considering this product should note its low dropout voltage characteristics and good load and line regulation, which are critical for maintaining stable output under varying conditions.
