Instructions for Use:

1. Input Voltage (V_IN):

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

2. Output Voltage (V_OUT):

   • The output voltage is fixed at 3.3V. No external resistors are required for voltage adjustment.

3. Output Current (I_OUT):

   • The device can provide up to 250mA of output current, with a typical value of 200mA.

4. Quiescent Current (I_Q):

   • The quiescent current is typically 10μA and can go up to 20μA.

5. Dropout Voltage (V_DROP):

   • The dropout voltage is typically 0.3V and can be as high as 0.5V. Ensure the input voltage is sufficiently higher than the output voltage to maintain regulation.

6. Load Regulation:

   • The load regulation is typically 0.5% and can vary up to 1%.

7. Line Regulation:

   • The line regulation is typically 0.1% and can vary up to 0.5%.

8. Power Dissipation (P_D):

   • The maximum power dissipation is 1.25W. Ensure adequate heat sinking if operating near this limit.

9. Operating Temperature (T_OP):

   • The device operates reliably between -40°C and 85°C.

10. Storage Temperature (T_S):

    • Store the device between -65°C and 150°C to ensure long-term reliability.

11. Mounting:

    • Solder the device according to the recommended footprint and ensure proper thermal management if high power dissipation is expected.

12. Capacitors:

    • Use recommended input and output capacitors to stabilize the output and filter noise. Typically, 10μF ceramic capacitors are used for both input and output.

13. Handling:

    • Handle the device with care to avoid static damage. Use appropriate ESD protection measures.
