7812 is a voltage regulator integrated circuit. It is a member of 78xx series of fixed linear voltage regulator ICs. The voltage source in a circuit may have fluctuations and would not give the fixed voltage output. The voltage regulator IC maintains the output voltage at a constant value. The xx in 78xx indicates the fixed output voltage it is designed to provide. 7812 provides +12V regulated power supply. Capacitors of suitable values can be connected at input and output pins depending upon the respective voltage levels.

Features and Specifications:

• Input voltage: 7v to 25v
• Output voltage range: 4.8 v to 5.2v
• Typical output voltage: 12v
• Maximum output current: 1.5A
