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, use a minimum output capacitance of 2.2uF and an ESR of 0.1 ohms or less. Also, keep the input capacitance as close to the device as possible.
The dropout voltage is typically around 300mV at an output current of 150mA, but it can vary depending on the input voltage and output current.
The device is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the junction temperature should be kept below 150°C to ensure reliability and prevent thermal shutdown.
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.
