Instructions for Use

1. Circuit Design:

   • Ensure that the input voltage is within the specified range (4.5V to 30V).
   • Select the appropriate output voltage option (3.3V, 5V, or adjustable).
   • For adjustable output voltage, use external resistors to set the desired output voltage.

2. Capacitor Selection:

   • Use a 1μF ceramic capacitor on the input side for stability.
   • Use a 1μF ceramic capacitor on the output side for stability and transient response.

3. Thermal Considerations:

   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating at high output currents or high ambient temperatures.
   • The device has built-in thermal shutdown protection to prevent damage from excessive temperature.

4. Layout Recommendations:

   • Place the input and output capacitors as close as possible to the device to minimize parasitic inductance.
   • Use wide and short traces for power and ground connections to reduce resistance and inductance.

5. Handling Precautions:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
   • Follow proper soldering techniques to ensure reliable connections.

6. Testing:

   • Before finalizing the design, test the circuit under various conditions to ensure stable operation and compliance with specifications.
