To our customers,
Old Company Name in Catalogs and Other Documents
On April 1st, 2010, NEC Electronics Corporation merged with Renesas Technology
Corporation, and Renesas Electronics Corporation took over all the business of both
companies. Therefore, although the old company name remains in this document, it is a valid
Renesas Electronics document. We appreciate your understanding.

Note Internally limited. When the operating junction temperature rises above 150°C, the internal circuit shuts down
the output voltage.
Caution Product quality may suffer if the absolute maximum rating is exceeded even momentarily for any
parameter. That is, the absolute maximum ratings are rated values at which the product is on the
verge of suffering physical damage, and therefore the product must be used under conditions that
ensure that the absolute maximum ratings are not exceeded.

μ
CIN : 0.1

F or higher. Be sure to connect CIN to prevent parasitic oscillation. Set this value according to the length
of the line between the regulator and the INPUT pin. Use of a film capacitor or other capacitor with first-rate
voltage and temperature characteristics is recommended. If using a laminated ceramic capacitor, it is
necessary to ensure that CIN is 0.1
μ
F or higher for the voltage and temperature range to be used.
COUT: 10
μ
F or higher. Be sure to connect COUT to prevent oscillation and improve excessive load regulation. Place
CIN and COUT as close as possible to the IC pins (within 1 to 2 cm). Also, use an electrolytic capacitor with low
impedance characteristics if considering use at sub-zero temperatures.
D1 : If the OUTPUT pin has a higher voltage than the INPUT pin, connect a diode.
D2 : If the OUTPUT pin has a lower voltage than the GND pin, connect a Schottky barrier diode.
Caution Make sure that no voltage is applied to the OUTPUT pin from external.

The information in this document is current as of August, 2007. The information is subject to
change without notice. For actual design-in, refer to the latest publications of NEC Electronics data
sheets or data books, etc., for the most up-to-date specifications of NEC Electronics products. Not
all products and/or types are available in every country. Please check with an NEC Electronics sales
representative for availability and additional information.

Descriptions of circuits, software and other related information in this document are provided for illustrative
purposes in semiconductor product operation and application examples. The incorporation of these
circuits, software and information in the design of a customer's equipment shall be done under the full
responsibility of the customer. NEC Electronics assumes no responsibility for any losses incurred by

While NEC Electronics endeavors to enhance the quality, reliability and safety of NEC Electronics products,
customers agree and acknowledge that the possibility of defects thereof cannot be eliminated entirely. To
minimize risks of damage to property or injury (including death) to persons arising from defects in NEC
Electronics products, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in their design, such as
redundancy, fire-containment and anti-failure features.
NEC Electronics products are classified into the following three quality grades: "Standard", "Special" and
"Specific".
The "Specific" quality grade applies only to NEC Electronics products developed based on a customer-
designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of an NEC
Electronics product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of
each NEC Electronics product before using it in a particular application.
The quality grade of NEC Electronics products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC
Electronics data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC Electronics products in applications
not intended by NEC Electronics, they must contact an NEC Electronics sales representative in advance to
determine NEC Electronics' willingness to support a given application.
