Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply Connection:

   • Connect the input voltage (V_IN) to the Vin pin.
   • Connect the output voltage (V_OUT) to the Vout pin.
   • Ensure the ground (GND) is connected to the common ground of the system.

2. Capacitors:

   • Place a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor close to the Vout pin to stabilize the output voltage.
   • Optionally, add a 10μF electrolytic capacitor between Vout and GND for better ripple rejection.

3. Thermal Management:

   • The NJM79M12FA has a thermal shutdown feature to protect against overheating.
   • For high current applications, ensure adequate heat dissipation by using a heatsink or placing the device on a large copper area.

4. Input Voltage Range:

   • The input voltage should be at least 1.5V higher than the output voltage to ensure proper operation.
   • The maximum input voltage is 24V.

5. Output Current:

   • The maximum continuous output current is 150mA.
   • Ensure that the load does not exceed this limit to avoid overheating and potential damage.

6. Operating Temperature:

   • The device is designed to operate within the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
   • Store the device in an environment with temperatures ranging from -65°C to 150°C.

7. Handling Precautions:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid static damage.
   • Follow standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions during handling and installation.

8. Mounting:

   • Solder the device to the PCB using a temperature-controlled soldering iron.
   • Avoid excessive heat during soldering to prevent damage to the device.

By following these instructions, you can ensure reliable and efficient operation of the NJM79M12FA voltage regulator.
