Instructions for Use:

1. Input Voltage (VIN):

   • Ensure the input voltage is within the range of 2.7V to 5.5V.
   • Avoid exceeding these limits to prevent damage to the regulator.

2. Output Voltage (VOUT):

   • The output voltage can be adjusted between 0.8V and 3.3V.
   • Use the external resistor divider to set the desired output voltage.

3. Output Current (IOUT):

   • The regulator can supply up to 300mA continuously.
   • Ensure that the load does not exceed this current limit to avoid overheating.

4. Quiescent Current (IQ):

   • The quiescent current is typically 1.0μA at 5V input and 3.3V output with no load.
   • This low quiescent current makes the regulator suitable for battery-powered applications.

5. Dropout Voltage (VDROPOUT):

   • The dropout voltage is typically 0.4V at 300mA output current.
   • Ensure that the input voltage is at least 0.4V higher than the output voltage to maintain regulation.

6. Load Regulation:

   • The load regulation is typically 0.1% over the load range from 0 to 300mA.
   • This ensures stable output voltage under varying load conditions.

7. Line Regulation:

   • The line regulation is typically 0.1% over the input voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V.
   • This ensures stable output voltage under varying input conditions.

8. Thermal Shutdown:

   • The regulator will shut down if the temperature exceeds 160°C to protect against overheating.
   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation, especially under high load conditions.

9. Operating Temperature Range:

   • The regulator operates reliably within the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
   • Avoid operating outside this range to prevent performance degradation or damage.

10. Storage Temperature Range:

    • The regulator can be stored in temperatures ranging from -65°C to 150°C.
    • Ensure proper storage conditions to maintain long-term reliability.

Additional Notes:

• Capacitors:

  • Use a 1μF ceramic capacitor on the input side and a 1μF ceramic capacitor on the output side for stability.
  • These capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the regulator to minimize parasitic inductance.

• PCB Layout:

  • Ensure good thermal management by providing a thermal pad or heatsink if necessary.
  • Follow recommended PCB layout guidelines to optimize performance and reliability.
