Although the datasheet specifies an input voltage range of 2.5V to 6.0V, ABLIC Inc. recommends not exceeding 6.5V to ensure reliable operation and prevent damage to the device.
To ensure stable output voltage, it's essential to follow the recommended PCB layout and component placement guidelines, including the use of a 1μF or larger output capacitor and a 1μF or larger input capacitor.
The maximum output current of the S-8204BAU-TCT1U is 200mA. However, it's recommended to derate the output current based on the ambient temperature and the input voltage to ensure reliable operation.
While the S-8204BAU-TCT1U is a high-reliability device, it's not specifically designed for automotive applications. If you need a voltage regulator for automotive use, consider ABLIC Inc.'s automotive-grade products, such as the S-817B series.
The S-8204BAU-TCT1U is designed to withstand input voltage transients, but it's essential to follow the recommended input capacitor selection and PCB layout guidelines to ensure stable operation during these events.
