Instructions for Use:

1. Input Connection:

   • Connect the input voltage (VIN) to the positive terminal of the power supply.
   • Ensure the input voltage is within the specified range (4.5V to 28V).

2. Output Configuration:

   • Adjust the output voltage (VOUT) using the external resistor network according to the datasheet formula.
   • Ensure the output voltage is within the specified range (1.2V to 13V).

3. Output Load:

   • The maximum continuous output current (IOUT) is 20A. Ensure the load does not exceed this limit to avoid damage.

4. Thermal Management:

   • The device operates efficiently up to 125°C. Use a heatsink if necessary to maintain the operating temperature within the safe range.
   • Ensure proper ventilation and cooling, especially under high load conditions.

5. Quiescent Current:

   • The quiescent current (IQ) is typically 1.5mA at no load. This should be considered in low-power applications.

6. Dropout Voltage:

   • The dropout voltage (VDROPOUT) is 1.2V at full load. Ensure the input voltage is sufficiently higher than the output voltage to maintain regulation.

7. Efficiency:

   • The typical efficiency (η) is 92% at full load. Monitor the efficiency in your specific application to optimize performance.

8. Switching Frequency:

   • The switching frequency (fSW) is 600kHz. This affects the size of external components like inductors and capacitors.

9. Temperature Considerations:

   • The operating temperature range (Toper) is from -40°C to 125°C. Store the device within the storage temperature range (-65°C to 150°C).

10. Package Type:

    • The 75NF20 is available in a TO-220 package. Ensure proper handling and mounting to avoid mechanical stress and damage.
