Although the datasheet specifies a recommended input voltage range, the absolute maximum input voltage is 12V, according to ABLIC Inc.'s application notes.
To ensure stable operation, it's essential to provide a sufficient heat sink, reduce the input voltage, and minimize the output current. ABLIC Inc. recommends following the thermal design guidelines in the datasheet and application notes.
While the S-1206B20-M3T1G is rated for 200mA output current, it's not recommended for high-current applications. For high-current requirements, consider using a different voltage regulator or consulting with ABLIC Inc.'s technical support team.
ABLIC Inc. provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet and application notes, which includes guidelines for component placement, trace routing, and decoupling capacitors. Following these guidelines will help minimize noise and ensure stable operation.
Yes, ABLIC Inc. recommends following proper EMI/EMC design practices, such as using a metal shield, minimizing loop areas, and adding EMI filters. Consult the datasheet and application notes for more information.
