6.3 Recommended Operating Conditions

over operating free-air temperature range (unless otherwise noted)
MIN NOM MAX UNIT
VI  Supply voltage 1.8 5.5 V
VO Output voltage 1.2 5.5 V
IO Output current(1) VOUT = 3.3V, VIN ≥ 2.6V 3.5 A
CI Input capacitance(2) 5 µF
CO Output capacitance(2) VOUT = 3.3V, VIN ≥ 2.6V, IOUT ≤ 2A 14  16 µF
L Inductance 390 470 560 nH

TJ Operating junction temperature range -40 125 °C
(1) The device can sustain the maximum recommended output current only for short durations before its junction temperature gets too hot. Users must verify that the thermal performance of the end application can support the maximum output current.
(2) Effective capacitance after DC bias effects have been considered.
