■Standard External Circuit

C1: Oscillation prevention capacitor (approx. 0.33µF)

Connection to terminal No.4 must be made as short as
D1
possible.
C2: Output capacitor (47 to 100µF)
Connection to terminal No.1 must be made as short as
VIN VO possible.
4 1 D1: Protection diode (RM1Z)
DC input STR9000 DC output Required for protection against reverse biasing of input
3 2 and output.

+
C1 C2
Note 1: Prevention of oscillation at low temperatures
At low temperatures, oscillation may occur unless an
output capacitor with good tanδ is used. Be sure to
connect a tantalum capacitor (approx. 10µF) in par-
allel with output capacitor C2.
Note 2: An isolation type diode is provided from input to
ground and also from output to ground. These may
be destroyed if the device is reverse biased. In this
case, use a diode with low VF to protect them.
