According to ABLIC's application notes, a 1uF to 10uF ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R type) is recommended for input decoupling, placed as close to the VIN pin as possible.
To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitor of 1uF (X5R or X7R type) with an ESR of 0.1Ω to 10Ω, and place it close to the VOUT pin. Additionally, keep the input and output capacitors away from the device's thermal pad.
The maximum ambient temperature for the S-1206B26-M3T1G is 105°C, but it's recommended to operate the device at a maximum temperature of 85°C for optimal performance and reliability.
While the S-1206B26-M3T1G is a high-quality device, it's essential to consult ABLIC's reliability and quality documents, as well as perform thorough testing and validation, to ensure the device meets the specific requirements of your high-reliability or automotive application.
Use the following formula to calculate power dissipation: Pd = (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT. Then, use the thermal resistance (Rth) and power dissipation to calculate the junction temperature: Tj = Ta + (Rth x Pd), where Ta is the ambient temperature.
