Instructions for Use:

1. Input Voltage (VIN):

   • Ensure the input voltage is within the range of 2.7V to 5.5V.
   • The input voltage must be at least 200mV higher than the output voltage to maintain regulation.

2. Output Voltage (VOUT):

   • Set the output voltage using external resistors according to the formula provided in the datasheet.
   • Typical output voltages include 1.0V, 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 2.8V, 3.0V, and 3.3V.

3. Output Current (IOUT):

   • The device can provide up to 300mA of continuous output current.
   • For reliable operation, ensure the load does not exceed 300mA.

4. Quiescent Current (IQ):

   • The quiescent current is typically 30μA, which is important for low-power applications.

5. Dropout Voltage (VDROPOUT):

   • The dropout voltage is typically 200mV, meaning the input voltage must be at least 200mV higher than the output voltage to maintain regulation.

6. Load Regulation:

   • The load regulation is typically 0.5%, indicating that the output voltage will change by 0.5% for a full load change.

7. Line Regulation:

   • The line regulation is typically 0.1%, indicating that the output voltage will change by 0.1% for a 10% change in input voltage.

8. Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR):

   • The PSRR is typically 60dB, which means the device effectively reduces ripple and noise from the input supply.

9. Operating Temperature (TOP):

   • The device operates reliably over a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

10. Storage Temperature (TSTG):

    • The device can be stored in temperatures ranging from -55°C to 150°C without damage.

11. Capacitors:

    • Use appropriate input and output capacitors to stabilize the regulator and filter out noise.
    • Recommended values are typically 1μF for both input and output capacitors.

12. PCB Layout:

    • Place the input and output capacitors as close as possible to the regulator to minimize parasitic inductance and improve stability.
    • Ensure proper heat dissipation if operating at high currents or in high ambient temperatures.

13. Handling:

    • Handle the device with care to avoid static damage.
    • Follow ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions during handling and installation.
