Instructions for Using LM2825N-5.0

1. Input Voltage (VIN):

   • Ensure the input voltage is within the range of 7V to 40V.
   • The higher the input voltage, the more heat will be generated. Use appropriate heatsinking if necessary.

2. Output Voltage (VOUT):

   • The output voltage is fixed at 5.0V.
   • No external components are required to set the output voltage.

3. Output Current (IOUT):

   • The typical output current is 1.0A, with a maximum of 1.5A.
   • For continuous operation at 1.5A, ensure adequate cooling.

4. Quiescent Current (IQ):

   • The quiescent current is typically 3.5mA.
   • This is the current consumed by the regulator when no load is present.

5. Dropout Voltage (VDROPOUT):

   • The dropout voltage is typically 1.2V.
   • This is the minimum difference between the input and output voltages required for regulation.

6. Load Regulation:

   • The load regulation is typically 1%, meaning the output voltage will change by 1% over the full load range.

7. Line Regulation:

   • The line regulation is typically 0.2%, indicating the output voltage will change by 0.2% for a 1% change in input voltage.

8. Ripple Rejection:

   • The ripple rejection is typically 60dB, which means the regulator can effectively reduce input ripple by this amount.

9. Operating Temperature (TOPR):

   • The operating temperature range is from -40°C to 125°C.
   • Ensure the device does not exceed these limits during operation.

10. Storage Temperature (TSTG):

    • The storage temperature range is from -65°C to 150°C.
    • Store the device in a dry, cool place to avoid damage.

11. PCB Layout Considerations:

    • Place the input and output capacitors as close as possible to the regulator.
    • Use wide traces for power and ground to minimize voltage drops and heat generation.
    • Ensure proper heatsinking if the device will operate at high currents or high ambient temperatures.

12. Capacitor Selection:

    • Use a 10μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor on the input side.
    • Use a 10μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor on the output side for stability and filtering.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure optimal performance and reliability of the LM2825N-5.0 regulator in your application.
