Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply Connection:

   • Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the Vcc pin.
   • Connect the ground terminal of the power supply to the GND pin.

2. Output Connection:

   • Connect the load to the Vout pin.
   • Ensure the load current does not exceed the maximum output current of 250 mA.

3. Capacitors:

   • Place a 10 μF electrolytic capacitor between Vcc and GND close to the device to stabilize the input voltage.
   • Place a 1 μF ceramic capacitor between Vout and GND close to the device to stabilize the output voltage.

4. Thermal Management:

   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating at high temperatures or high load currents.
   • The thermal resistance (θja) is 50 °C/W, so consider a heatsink if necessary.

5. Operating Conditions:

   • Operate within the specified temperature range (-40°C to 85°C).
   • Store the device within the storage temperature range (-65°C to 150°C).

6. Regulation:

   • The device provides good load and line regulation, ensuring stable output voltage under varying conditions.
   • The ripple rejection is 70 dB, effectively filtering out input voltage fluctuations.

7. Dropout Voltage:

   • The dropout voltage is typically 0.3 V, allowing the device to maintain regulation even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage.

8. Quiescent Current:

   • The quiescent current is typically 1.5 mA, which is relatively low, making the device suitable for battery-powered applications.
