Instructions for Use:

1. Input Connection:

   • Connect the input voltage (VIN) to the "IN" pin.
   • Ensure the input voltage is within the specified range (3.6V to 40V).

2. Output Configuration:

   • Adjust the output voltage (VOUT) using the feedback resistor network connected to the "FB" pin.
   • The output voltage can be set from 1.23V to 38V.

3. Output Connection:

   • Connect the load to the "OUT" pin.
   • Ensure the output current does not exceed 1.5A continuously.

4. Feedback Resistor Calculation:

   • Use the formula ( V_ = 1.23 times left(1 + fracright) ) to calculate the values of R1 and R2.
   • R1 is the resistor connected between the "OUT" and "FB" pins.
   • R2 is the resistor connected between the "FB" pin and ground.

5. Thermal Considerations:

   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating at high output currents or in high ambient temperatures.
   • The operating temperature range is -40°C to 125°C.

6. Capacitor Selection:

   • Use a ceramic capacitor (10μF to 100μF) on the input side to filter out noise.
   • Use a ceramic or tantalum capacitor (10μF to 100μF) on the output side to stabilize the output voltage.

7. Layout Recommendations:

   • Keep the input and output capacitors close to the IC to minimize parasitic inductance.
   • Use wide traces for power connections to reduce resistance and heating.

8. Storage:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool place within the storage temperature range (-65°C to 150°C).

9. Handling:

   • Handle with care to avoid static discharge which can damage the IC.
   • Follow ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions during assembly and testing.
