The 78ST212 is a series of wide
input voltage, 3-terminal Integrated
Switching Regulators (ISRs). With a
surge capability of 3A and an output
voltage that is laser trimmed, it is ideal
for inductive load applications such as
disk drive motors.

Note 1: All data listed in the above graphs, except for derating data, has been developed from actual products tested at 25°C. This data is considered typical data for the ISR.
Note 2: Thermal derating graphs are developed in free air convection cooling of 40-60 LFM. (See Thermal Application Notes.)
