The maximum input voltage is 18V, but it's recommended to keep it below 15V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
Use a 10uF or larger output capacitor with an ESR of 0.5 ohms or less to ensure stability and accuracy. Additionally, keep the input capacitor as close to the input pin as possible.
A minimum of 1uF input capacitance is recommended, but 2.2uF or larger is preferred for optimal performance.
The device is rated for operation up to 125°C, but thermal derating is required above 85°C. Ensure proper heat sinking and thermal management to prevent overheating.
Use the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout, where Pd is the power dissipation, Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current.
