PIN FUNCTION
VIN is the supply pin for the LDO. A small 1μF
ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VIN
pin and ground near the device. When using longer
connections to the power supply, CIN value can be
increased without limit. The operating input voltage
range is from 2.3V to 5.5V.
EN is the enable control logic (active high) for the regulator
output. It has a 2.5MΩ pull-down resistor, which
assures that if EN pin is left open, the circuit is disabled.
VOUT is the LDO regulator output. A small 1μF
ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VOUT
pin and ground for stability. For better transient
response, its value can be increased to 4.7μF.
The capacitor should be located near the device. ESR
domain is 5mΩ to 500mΩ. VOUT can deliver a
maximum guaranteed current of 150mA. A 250Ω
internal shutdown switch discharges the output
capacitor in the no-load condition.
GND is the ground reference for the LDO. The pin
must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB.
BYP is the reference bypass pin. An optional 0.01μF
capacitor can be connected between BYP pin and
GND to reduce the output noise and enhance the
PSRR at high frequency.

Notes:
(1) Exceeding maximum rating may damage the device
(2) The maximum allowable power dissipation at any TA (ambient temperature) is PDmax = (TJmax – TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable
power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
(3) The device is not guaranteed to work outside its operating rating.
