Instructions for Use:

1. Supply Voltage:

   • Ensure the supply voltage is within the range of 4.5V to 18V.
   • Exceeding these limits can damage the device.

2. Output Current:

   • The maximum output current is 2.0A. Do not exceed this limit to avoid overheating or damage.

3. Operating Temperature:

   • The device is designed to operate between -40°C and 125°C. Ensure the ambient temperature is within this range.

4. Storage Temperature:

   • Store the device between -65°C and 150°C to prevent damage during storage.

5. Thermal Management:

   • The thermal resistance (θ_JA) is 50°C/W. Use appropriate heat sinks or cooling methods if operating at high power levels.

6. Quiescent Current:

   • The quiescent current is typically 5.0mA. This is the current consumed by the device when no load is applied.

7. Dropout Voltage:

   • The typical dropout voltage is 1.2V. This is the minimum difference between the input and output voltages required to maintain regulation.

8. Regulation:

   • The line and load regulation are both 0.01%, ensuring stable output under varying conditions.

9. Ripple Rejection:

   • The device provides 70dB ripple rejection at 100 kHz, reducing noise on the output.

10. Transient Response:

    • The transient response is ±10% for a load step, ensuring the output remains stable during rapid changes in load.

11. Enable Input:

    • The enable input should be set to a high level (≥1.2V) to activate the device and a low level (≤0.8V) to disable it.

12. Protection Features:

    • The device includes short-circuit protection and over-temperature shutdown to prevent damage under fault conditions.

13. Mounting:

    • Ensure proper mounting and connections to avoid mechanical stress and ensure reliable operation.

14. PCB Layout:

    • Follow recommended PCB layout guidelines to minimize parasitic effects and ensure optimal performance.
