If the output voltage you need cannot be found in our
product line-up, the designs in Figures 14 or 15 will
increase output voltages easily.

Because of its low current consumption, the
S-812XXSG Series can set the resistor values, and R
1
and R

high to lower the power consumption of whole
systems.
Current flows to the Zener diode (Di) through the
quiescent current (I
) of the S-812XXSG Series, and
the GND terminal rises for the voltage of DI.
When Di cannot drive with a quiescent current, the
added resistance R increases the current flowing
through DI.

A dual supply can be formed using the S-812XXSG
Series.
Figure 17 shows a circuit example for receiving two
outputs (5 V and 8 V) with the S-81230SG and the S-
81250SG. As the resistance R lets the quiescent
current of IC1 pass, R is unnecessary if the minimum
output current of IC2 is more than the IC1 quiescent
current.
