For better transient response, its value can bypass capacitor is required between the V pin and ground be increased to 4.7 F. IN near the device. When using longer connections to the power The capacitor should be located near the device. For the supply, C value can be increased without limit. The TSOT23 6lead package, a continuous 300 mA output IN operating input voltage range is from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. current for both LDOs may turnon the thermal protection.

Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect device reliability. Table 2.

The maximum allowable power dissipation at any T (ambient temperature) is P = (T T )/ . Exceeding the maximum allowable A Dmax Jmax A JA power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. 2. The device is not guaranteed to work outside its operating rating.
