LM7912 belongs to the family of Voltage regulators. The name “79” indicates negative and the term “12” indicates the voltage. So “7912” means that this IC will regulate a negative 12V for your projects. You can also check on 78 series for positive voltage regulators.
When you are designing an analog circuit, the circuit might need negative voltage either as a power source or as a reference voltage. In both cases, 7912 will be an ideal choice when you need a negative 12V. The output current of this IC is up to 1A, however, with an appropriate heat sink, the datasheet says that a peak current of 2.2A can be achieved through this IC.
