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.
EN1 & 2 are the enable control logic (active high) for the
regulator outputs.
VOUT1 & 2 are the LDO regulator outputs. A small 1μF
ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the
VOUT pins and ground. For better transient response,
its value can be increased to 4.7μF.
The capacitor should be located near the device. For
the TSOT23 6-lead package, a continuous 300mA
output current for both LDOs may turn-on the thermal
protection.

On each output, 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.

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.
