Additional Details:

The NJM78M08DLA-TE1 is typically available in a surface-mount package. The input voltage should be higher than the output voltage (8V) but within the specified maximum input voltage. A small capacitor may be required at the input and output for stability. The operating temperature range is generally between -20°C and +85°C. Detailed electrical characteristics, such as dropout voltage, line regulation, and load regulation, can be found in the product datasheet provided by New Japan Radio.
