Instructions for Use:

1. Input Voltage (VIN):

   • Ensure the input voltage is within the range of 1.65V to 15V.
   • The input voltage should be at least 1.3V higher than the output voltage to maintain regulation.

2. Output Voltage (VOUT):

   • The AMS1117-1.2V is designed to provide a stable 1.2V output.
   • No external components are required for this fixed output voltage version.

3. Output Current (IOUT):

   • The maximum continuous output current is 1A.
   • Ensure the load does not exceed this limit to avoid overheating or damage.

4. Thermal Considerations:

   • The device has a thermal shutdown feature that activates at approximately 160°C.
   • Use a heatsink if the device will operate near its maximum output current or in high ambient temperatures.

5. Capacitors:

   • Place a 10μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor close to the input pin to ensure stability.
   • A 10μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor on the output pin is recommended to improve transient response and stability.

6. PCB Layout:

   • Keep the PCB traces short and wide to minimize resistance and inductance.
   • Ensure proper grounding and decoupling to reduce noise and improve performance.

7. Storage and Handling:

   • Store the device in a dry environment within the temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.
   • Handle with care to avoid static discharge and physical damage.
