LM79L12ACZ/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM79L12ACZ/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LM79L12ACZ/NOPB can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 35V, but it's recommended to keep it below 25V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the output voltage is stable and regulated?
  Make sure to use the recommended output capacitor (10uF or larger) and input capacitor (1uF or larger) to ensure stability and regulation.
• Can I use the LM79L12ACZ/NOPB in a high-temperature environment?
  The LM79L12ACZ/NOPB is rated for operation up to 125°C, but thermal derating is required above 85°C. Ensure proper heat sinking and thermal management to prevent overheating.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM79L12ACZ/NOPB to function?
  The minimum input voltage is 15.5V, but it's recommended to keep it above 16V for reliable operation.
• How do I protect the LM79L12ACZ/NOPB from input voltage transients?
  Use a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) or a voltage clamp diode to protect the regulator from input voltage transients and spikes.
