Caution The above connection diagram and constant will not guarantee successful operation. Perform
thorough evaluation using the actual application to set the constant.
 Condition of Application
Input capacitor (C_IN): 0.1 μF or more
Output capacitor (C_L): 0.1 μF or more
Caution Generally a series regulator may cause oscillation, depending on the selection of external parts.
Confirm that no oscillation occurs in the application for which the above capacitors are used.
 Selection of Input and Output Capacitors (C_IN, C_L)
The S-1206 Series requires an output capacitor between the VOUT pin and VSS pin for phase compensation.
Operation is stabilized by a ceramic capacitor with an output capacitance of 0.1 μF or more in the entire temperature
range. When using an OS capacitor, a tantalum capacitor, or an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the capacitance must
be 0.1 μF or more.
The value of the output overshoot or undershoot transient response varies depending on the value of the output
capacitor.
The required capacitance of the input capacitor differs depending on the application.
The recommended value for an application is C_IN ≥ 0.1 μF, C_L ≥ 0.1 μF; however, when selecting these capacitors,
perform sufficient evaluation, including evaluation of temperature characteristics, on the actual device.
