Instructions for Use:

1. Input Connection: Connect the input voltage (VIN) to the positive terminal and ground (GND) to the negative terminal.
2. Output Connection: Connect the output voltage (VOUT) to the load and ensure proper grounding.
3. Capacitors: Use input and output capacitors as specified in the datasheet to ensure stability and reduce ripple. Typical values are 10μF for input and 10μF for output.
4. Heat Dissipation: Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating at high currents or temperatures. The device is designed to shut down thermally if it exceeds safe operating temperatures.
5. Protection: The device includes overcurrent, overvoltage, and thermal shutdown protections. Do not bypass these features unless specifically required and understood.
6. Storage: Store the device in a dry, cool place within the specified storage temperature range.
7. Handling: Handle with care to avoid damage to the pins and components. Use appropriate ESD protection when handling the device.

Notes:

• Efficiency is measured under specific conditions and may vary with different input voltages and load conditions.
• Ripple and Noise measurements should be taken using a high-frequency probe and a properly grounded setup.
• Thermal Management: If operating near the maximum current or in high ambient temperatures, consider using a heatsink or forced air cooling.
