Instructions for BD743C

1. Input Voltage (VIN):

   • Ensure the input voltage is within the range of 2.5V to 5.5V.
   • Use appropriate input capacitors to stabilize the input voltage.

2. Output Voltage (VOUT):

   • The output voltage can be adjusted using external resistors.
   • Connect the feedback pin (FB) to a voltage divider network consisting of two resistors (R1 and R2) to set the desired output voltage.
   • The formula to calculate the output voltage is: ( V_ = V_ left(1 + fracright) ), where ( V_ ) is typically 1.2V.

3. Output Current (IOUT):

   • The maximum continuous output current is 500mA, but it is recommended to operate at or below 300mA for optimal performance.
   • Use appropriate output capacitors to filter the output and ensure stability.

4. Quiescent Current (IQ):

   • The quiescent current is typically 60μA at 3.3V input with no load.
   • This low quiescent current makes the BD743C suitable for battery-powered applications.

5. Dropout Voltage (VDROPOUT):

   • The dropout voltage is the difference between the input and output voltages when the regulator is operating near its limit.
   • It ranges from 300mV to 500mV at 300mA output current.

6. Shutdown (SHDN):

   • To shut down the regulator, pull the SHDN pin low.
   • The shutdown current is typically 1μA.
   • To enable the regulator, pull the SHDN pin high or leave it floating.

7. Operating Temperature (TOPR):

   • The operating temperature range is from -40°C to 85°C.
   • Ensure that the device is not exposed to temperatures outside this range during operation.

8. Storage Temperature (TSTG):

   • The storage temperature range is from -40°C to 125°C.
   • Store the device in a dry, cool place to avoid damage.

9. Thermal Resistance (θJA):

   • The thermal resistance from junction to ambient is typically 90°C/W.
   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation if the device is expected to handle high power levels.

10. Capacitor Selection:

    • Use ceramic capacitors with low ESR for both input and output.
    • Typical values are 10μF for the input capacitor and 10μF for the output capacitor.
    • Ensure the capacitors have a voltage rating higher than the maximum expected voltage.

11. Layout Considerations:

    • Keep the input and output capacitors as close as possible to the IC.
    • Use wide traces for power lines to minimize voltage drops.
    • Avoid placing the IC near heat sources to prevent overheating.

By following these instructions, you can ensure reliable and efficient operation of the BD743C regulator.
