Instructions for Use

1. Input Connection:

   • Connect the positive terminal of the input power supply to the VIN pin.
   • Connect the negative terminal of the input power supply to the GND pin.

2. Output Configuration:

   • The output voltage can be adjusted using an external resistor divider network connected to the ADJ pin.
   • The formula to calculate the output voltage is: ( V_ = 1.25 times left(1 + fracright) )
   • Where ( R_1 ) is the resistor between ADJ and GND, and ( R_2 ) is the resistor between VOUT and ADJ.

3. Output Connection:

   • Connect the load to the VOUT and GND pins.

4. Thermal Considerations:

   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating at high currents or in high ambient temperatures.
   • For TO-220 packages, use a heatsink if necessary.

5. Protection Features:

   • The device has built-in short-circuit and thermal protection.
   • In case of a fault, the converter will automatically shut down to prevent damage.

6. Mounting:

   • For TO-220 packages, ensure proper mechanical mounting to avoid stress on the leads.
   • For SMD packages, follow standard surface mount soldering guidelines.

7. Testing:

   • Before connecting the load, verify the output voltage with a multimeter to ensure it is within the desired range.
   • Gradually increase the load to test the stability and efficiency of the converter.
