The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LP2998MA/NOPB is 12V, but it's recommended to keep it below 10V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
To ensure the stability of the output voltage, it's essential to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Additionally, the output capacitor should be placed as close to the output pin as possible.
The maximum output current that the LP2998MA/NOPB can deliver is 3A, but it's recommended to keep it below 2.5A for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
To reduce the noise and ripple on the output voltage, it's recommended to use a low-ESR output capacitor, and to add a 10nF ceramic capacitor in parallel with the output capacitor. Additionally, the input capacitor should be placed as close to the input pin as possible.
The thermal shutdown temperature of the LP2998MA/NOPB is 150°C. When the junction temperature exceeds this value, the device will shut down to prevent damage.
