Notes: (1) ISR-will operate down to no load with reduced specifications.
(2) The Standby input (pin 6) has an internal pull-up. If it is left open-circuit the PT812x will operate when input power is applied. A low-leakage
MOSFET is recommended to control this input. The open-circuit voltage is nominally 5V. See application notes for interface considerations.
(3) The PT8120 regulators require a minimum of 660F, low ESR ouput capacitance (1,200F for standard aluminum electrolytic) for proper operation.
(4) For operation below 0°C, Cout must have stable characteristics. Use either low ESR tantalum or Oscon capacitors.
(5) See safe Operating Area curves or consult factory for the appropriate derating.
(6) The case pins on the through-hole package types (suffixes N & A) must be soldered. For more information see the applicable package outline drawing.
Input Filter: An input filter inductor is optional for most applications. The inductor must be rated to handle the projected input current. A rating of 10ADC for
Vout ≤3.3V, and 15ADC for Vout ≥4.5V is recommended. The input capacitance must be rated for a minimum of 1.6Arms of ripple current. For transient or dynamic
load applications, additional capacitance may be required. For more information consult the application note on capacitor selection.
