The maximum dropout voltage for the RB154 is around 1.5V to 2V, depending on the output current and input voltage.
To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of less than 5 ohms, and a minimum input capacitance of 1uF with an ESR of less than 10 ohms.
The thermal shutdown temperature for the RB154 is typically around 150°C to 160°C, but this can vary depending on the specific package and operating conditions.
While the RB154 can operate up to 125°C, it's not recommended for use in high-temperature environments above 85°C without proper heat sinking and derating.
Power dissipation can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout, where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current.
