Instructions for Use:

1. Supply Voltage (Vcc):

   • Ensure the supply voltage is within the range of 4.5V to 5.5V to avoid damage to the device.

2. Output Current (Iout):

   • The device can provide up to 200mA of continuous output current. Exceeding this limit may cause overheating or damage.

3. Quiescent Current (Iq):

   • The quiescent current is typically around 1.5mA with no load. This should be considered in low-power applications.

4. Dropout Voltage (Vdo):

   • The dropout voltage is the minimum difference between the input and output voltages required to maintain regulation. It is typically 0.6V at 100mA output current.

5. Line Regulation:

   • The line regulation is the change in output voltage due to changes in input voltage. It is typically 0.01% to 0.03% over the operating range.

6. Load Regulation:

   • The load regulation is the change in output voltage due to changes in load current. It is typically 0.05% to 0.15% over the operating range.

7. Ripple Rejection (RR):

   • The device provides good ripple rejection, typically 70dB to 80dB at 1kHz, which helps in filtering out noise from the input supply.

8. Thermal Shutdown (TSD):

   • The device includes thermal shutdown protection, which activates at temperatures between 150°C and 170°C to prevent damage from overheating.

9. Operating Temperature (Topr):

   • The device is designed to operate within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed these limits.

10. Storage Temperature (Tstg):

    • When the device is not in use, store it in an environment where the temperature ranges from -65°C to 150°C.

Additional Notes:

• PCB Layout:
  • Use a proper PCB layout with adequate copper areas for heat dissipation.
• Capacitors:
  • Place input and output capacitors close to the device to ensure stability and reduce noise.
• Heat Sinking:
  • For high current applications, consider using a heatsink to improve thermal performance.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure optimal performance and reliability of the TC5020BP in your application.
