The maximum input voltage is 12V, but it's recommended to keep it below 10V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
To ensure stability, it's essential to use the recommended output capacitor value and type, and to keep the output capacitor close to the device. Also, make sure the input capacitor is properly sized and placed.
The minimum input voltage is 3.5V, but it's recommended to keep it above 4V for optimal performance.
The device is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's essential to ensure proper thermal management and heat sinking to prevent overheating.
Power dissipation can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout. Make sure to consider the maximum power dissipation rating of the device and ensure proper heat sinking.
