Instructions for Use

1. Input Voltage (V_IN):

   • Ensure the input voltage is within the specified range (4.5V to 20.0V).
   • Use appropriate input capacitors to stabilize the input voltage.

2. Output Voltage (V_OUT):

   • Set the output voltage using external resistors according to the formula provided in the datasheet.
   • Use a 1% tolerance resistor for better accuracy.

3. Output Current (I_OUT):

   • The maximum continuous output current is 2.0A. Ensure the load does not exceed this limit to avoid damage.
   • Use a heatsink if operating at high currents to maintain safe operating temperatures.

4. Efficiency (η):

   • The typical efficiency is 92% at full load. Monitor the power dissipation to ensure it remains within safe limits.

5. Dropout Voltage (V_DO):

   • The dropout voltage is typically 0.3V to 0.6V at 2A. Ensure the input voltage is always higher than the output voltage plus the dropout voltage.

6. Quiescent Current (I_Q):

   • The quiescent current is typically 50μA to 100μA. This should be considered when designing low-power systems.

7. Load Regulation:

   • The load regulation is typically 0.5% to 1.0%. This indicates how much the output voltage changes with varying load conditions.

8. Line Regulation:

   • The line regulation is typically 0.1% to 0.3% per volt. This indicates how much the output voltage changes with varying input voltage.

9. Ripple Rejection:

   • The ripple rejection is typically 60dB to 70dB at 100kHz. This helps in filtering out input ripple and noise.

10. Operating Temperature (T_OP):

    • The operating temperature range is -40°C to 125°C. Ensure the device operates within this range to avoid thermal stress.

11. Storage Temperature (T_STG):

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

12. Package Type:

    • The device is available in SO-8 and SOT-23-5 packages. Choose the package type based on your PCB design requirements.
