The maximum input voltage is 36V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for stable operation and to prevent overheating.
To ensure stability, add a 10uF ceramic capacitor between the VIN pin and GND, and a 22uF ceramic capacitor between the VOUT pin and GND. This will help to reduce noise and oscillation.
The minimum input voltage is 5.5V, but it's recommended to keep it above 6V for stable operation.
The operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C, but the device's performance and reliability may degrade above 85°C. It's recommended to use a heat sink or thermal management system to keep the temperature below 85°C.
The power dissipation can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT. Make sure to consider the thermal resistance and junction temperature to ensure safe operation.
