Instructions for BCR5PM-14L

1. Input Voltage (V_IN):

   • Ensure the input voltage is within the range of 2.7V to 5.5V. Exceeding this range can damage the device.

2. Output Voltage (V_OUT):

   • The output voltage is fixed at 3.3V. No external components are required to set this voltage.

3. Output Current (I_OUT):

   • The device can provide up to 500mA of output current. Ensure that the load does not exceed this limit to avoid overheating or damage.

4. Quiescent Current (I_Q):

   • The quiescent current is typically 1.8mA. This is the current consumed by the regulator when no load is applied.

5. Dropout Voltage (V_DROPOUT):

   • The dropout voltage is 0.2V, which means the input voltage must be at least 0.2V higher than the output voltage to maintain regulation.

6. Efficiency (η):

   • The efficiency is typically 90%. This indicates that 90% of the input power is converted to output power, with the remaining 10% lost as heat.

7. Operating Temperature (T_OP):

   • The device can operate within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Avoid operating the device outside this range to prevent performance degradation or failure.

8. Storage Temperature (T_STG):

   • The device can be stored in temperatures ranging from -65°C to 150°C. However, ensure it is brought back to the operating temperature range before use.

9. Mounting:

   • Mount the device on a PCB with proper thermal management. Use a heatsink if necessary to dissipate heat, especially under high load conditions.

10. Handling:

    • Handle the device with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage sensitive components. Use ESD protection measures during handling and installation.
