Instructions for Use:

1. Input Voltage (V_IN):

   • Ensure the input voltage is within the range of 4.5V to 60V.
   • Use appropriate input filtering and decoupling capacitors to stabilize the input voltage.

2. Output Voltage (V_OUT):

   • The output voltage can be adjusted using external resistors.
   • Use the formula: V_OUT = 1.225 * (1 + R1/R2) where R1 and R2 are the resistor values.

3. Quiescent Current (I_Q):

   • The quiescent current is typically 80 μA at no load.
   • This value helps in calculating the overall efficiency of the converter.

4. Shutdown Mode:

   • To enter shutdown mode, pull the SHDN pin low.
   • The shutdown current is typically 1 μA.

5. Switch Current (I_SW(MAX)):

   • The maximum switch current is 1.5A.
   • Ensure the inductor and other components can handle this current.

6. Minimum On-Time (t_ON(MIN)):

   • The minimum on-time is 1.1 μs.
   • This affects the duty cycle and should be considered when designing the output filter.

7. Operating Frequency (f_SW):

   • The operating frequency can be set between 1.1 MHz and 2.2 MHz.
   • Higher frequencies reduce the size of external components but may increase switching losses.

8. Efficiency (η):

   • The typical efficiency is 85% at V_IN = 12V, V_OUT = 5V, and I_OUT = 1A.
   • Optimize the design to achieve the best efficiency.

9. Output Voltage Accuracy (ΔV_OUT):

   • The output voltage accuracy is ±1% over the temperature range from 25°C to 85°C.
   • Ensure the feedback network is stable and well-designed.

10. Thermal Management:

    • The device will shut down if the temperature exceeds 160°C.
    • Use proper heat sinking or cooling methods to keep the device within safe operating temperatures.
