Power Supply Connection:
- Connect the input voltage (VIN) to the input pin.
- Ensure the input voltage is at least 2.5V higher than the output voltage (-12V).
Output Connection:
- Connect the output pin to the load requiring a regulated -12V supply.
Ground Connection:
- Connect the ground pin to the common ground of your circuit.
Capacitors:
- Place a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor between the input pin and ground close to the device.
- Optionally, place a 1μF tantalum capacitor between the output pin and ground for improved transient response.
Heat Dissipation:
- For applications with high current or high ambient temperatures, consider adding a heat sink.
Short Circuit Protection:
- The device includes internal short-circuit protection, but ensure external circuits do not exceed the maximum short-circuit current of 300mA.
Operating Temperature:
- Ensure the operating temperature stays within -40°C to +85°C for reliable operation.
