Instructions for Using GT40QR21

1. Supply Voltage (Vcc):

   • Ensure the supply voltage is within the range of 4.5V to 5.5V. Operating outside this range can damage the device.

2. Quiescent Current (Iq):

   • The quiescent current is typically 10μA, which is very low, making the device suitable for battery-powered applications.

3. Output Current (Io):

   • The device can provide up to 50mA of output current, with a typical value of 30mA. Ensure the load does not exceed this limit to avoid overheating or damage.

4. Output Voltage (Vo):

   • The regulated output voltage is 3.3V. This is stable and suitable for powering various low-voltage circuits.

5. Dropout Voltage (Vdo):

   • The dropout voltage is typically 0.2V. This means the input voltage must be at least 0.2V higher than the output voltage to maintain regulation.

6. Operating Temperature (Topr):

   • The device can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed these limits.

7. Storage Temperature (Tstg):

   • The device can be stored in temperatures ranging from -65°C to 150°C. This is important for long-term storage or transportation.

8. Thermal Resistance (Rth):

   • The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 150°C/W. Proper heat dissipation should be considered if the device will be used at high power levels.

9. Load Regulation (ΔVo/ΔI):

   • The load regulation is 0.5%, meaning the output voltage changes by 0.5% for a change in load current. This ensures stable output under varying load conditions.

10. Line Regulation (ΔVo/ΔV):

    • The line regulation is 0.1%, indicating that the output voltage changes by 0.1% for a change in input voltage. This ensures stable output even with fluctuations in the input voltage.

11. Ripple Rejection (RR):

    • The ripple rejection is 70dB, which means the device can effectively filter out input voltage ripple, providing a clean output voltage.

Additional Notes:

• Capacitors:
  • Use appropriate input and output capacitors to stabilize the voltage and reduce noise. Typically, a 10μF ceramic capacitor on the input and a 10μF ceramic capacitor on the output are recommended.
• PCB Layout:
  • Ensure proper PCB layout to minimize inductance and parasitic effects. Keep the ground connections short and wide, and place the capacitors as close as possible to the device.
• Heat Sinking:
  • If the device will be operating at high current levels, consider using a heat sink to improve thermal performance.
