Instructions for Use:

1. Input Connection:

   • Connect the input voltage (VIN) to the power supply within the range of 2.7V to 5.5V.
   • Ensure the input capacitor (CIN) is placed close to the input pin to minimize noise.

2. Output Connection:

   • The output voltage (VOUT) is fixed at 3.3V.
   • Connect the load to the output pin.
   • Place an output capacitor (COUT) close to the output pin to stabilize the output voltage.

3. Shutdown Pin (SHDN):

   • To enable the regulator, connect the SHDN pin to GND or leave it floating.
   • To disable the regulator, pull the SHDN pin high (to VIN).

4. Thermal Considerations:

   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating at high current levels.
   • The thermal resistance (θJA) is 42°C/W, so monitor the temperature to avoid overheating.

5. Capacitor Selection:

   • Recommended CIN: 1μF ceramic capacitor.
   • Recommended COUT: 10μF ceramic capacitor.

6. Layout Recommendations:

   • Keep the PCB layout compact and use wide traces for power connections to reduce voltage drops.
   • Place decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the respective pins.

7. Storage and Handling:

   • Store the device in a dry environment within the storage temperature range (-65°C to 150°C).
   • Handle with care to avoid damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
