Instructions for Use:

1. Input Connection:

   • Connect the input voltage (VIN) to the positive terminal and ground (GND) to the negative terminal.
   • Ensure the input voltage is within the specified range (4.75V to 5.25V).

2. Output Configuration:

   • Adjust the output voltage (VOUT) using the external resistors as per the datasheet recommendations.
   • Verify the output voltage with a multimeter to ensure it meets the required specifications.

3. Load Connection:

   • Connect the load to the output terminals (VOUT and GND).
   • Ensure the load current does not exceed the maximum output current (3.0A).

4. Thermal Management:

   • Place the device in a well-ventilated area to avoid overheating.
   • If operating at high temperatures, consider adding a heatsink to improve thermal performance.

5. Protection Circuits:

   • The device includes overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown features.
   • In case of an overcurrent event, the device will automatically shut down to prevent damage.

6. Storage and Handling:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
   • Handle the device with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the internal components.

7. Testing and Validation:

   • Before finalizing the design, perform thorough testing under various operating conditions to ensure reliable performance.
   • Validate the efficiency, ripple, and regulation parameters to confirm they meet the application requirements.
