Instructions for Use:

1. Supply Voltage (VDD):

   • Ensure the supply voltage is within the range of 2.7V to 5.5V to avoid damage to the device.
   • Use appropriate decoupling capacitors (typically 10nF and 10μF) close to the VDD and GND pins to stabilize the supply.

2. Output Current (IOUT):

   • The device can provide up to 100mA of continuous output current.
   • For higher currents, ensure adequate heat dissipation to prevent thermal shutdown.

3. Dropout Voltage (VDROPOUT):

   • The dropout voltage is typically 0.4V at an output current of 100mA.
   • To minimize dropout, keep the input voltage as close to the desired output voltage as possible.

4. Thermal Management:

   • The device has a thermal shutdown feature that activates at approximately 160°C.
   • Ensure the operating junction temperature remains between -40°C and 125°C by providing sufficient heat sinking if necessary.

5. Ground Pin Current (IGND):

   • The ground pin current is typically 1.5μA at VDD = 3.3V.
   • This current should be considered when designing the power supply circuit to avoid unnecessary power loss.

6. Quiescent Current (IQ):

   • The quiescent current is typically 1.5μA at VDD = 3.3V.
   • This low quiescent current makes the device suitable for battery-powered applications.

7. PCB Layout:

   • Place the device close to the load to minimize trace resistance and inductance.
   • Use wide and short traces for power and ground connections to reduce parasitic effects.

8. Storage and Handling:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool environment to prevent moisture damage.
   • Handle with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the device.

By following these parameters and instructions, you can ensure optimal performance and reliability of the NDC7001C.
