Instructions for Using AMS1117S OT223 AMS1117-3.3:

1. Input Voltage:

   • Ensure the input voltage is within the range of 3.0V to 15.0V.
   • Higher input voltages can cause overheating and damage the regulator.

2. Output Voltage:

   • The output voltage is fixed at 3.3V.
   • Use appropriate capacitors on the input and output to stabilize the voltage and reduce ripple.

3. Output Current:

   • The maximum continuous output current is 1.0A.
   • For higher currents, consider using a heatsink or a more powerful regulator.

4. Dropout Voltage:

   • The dropout voltage is approximately 1.3V at full load.
   • Ensure the input voltage is at least 1.3V higher than the output voltage to maintain regulation.

5. Quiescent Current:

   • The quiescent current is typically 5.0mA.
   • This is the current consumed by the regulator when it is active but not supplying any load.

6. Shutdown Current:

   • The shutdown current is very low, around 0.001A.
   • Use the enable pin to turn the regulator on and off as needed.

7. Operating Temperature:

   • The operating temperature range is from -40°C to 125°C.
   • Ensure adequate cooling if operating in high-temperature environments.

8. Storage Temperature:

   • The storage temperature range is from -65°C to 150°C.
   • Store the regulator in a dry and cool place to prevent damage.

9. Capacitor Recommendations:

   • Use a 10μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor on the input side.
   • Use a 10μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor on the output side to ensure stability.

10. PCB Layout:

    • Place the input and output capacitors as close as possible to the regulator.
    • Ensure good thermal management with a heatsink if necessary.

11. Enable Pin:

    • If the enable pin is used, connect it to a logic high level to activate the regulator.
    • Connect it to ground to shut down the regulator.

12. Safety Precautions:

    • Always use appropriate fuses and protection circuits to prevent damage from overvoltage or short circuits.
    • Handle the regulator with care to avoid static discharge which can damage the component.
