PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Pin No. Pin Name Description
1 OUT
Regulated output voltage pin. A small ceramic capacitor with minimum value of 1 mF is needed from this
pin to ground to assure stability.
2, 3, 6, 7 GND Power supply ground.
8 IN Input pin. A small capacitor is needed from this pin to ground to assure stability.
4, 5 N/C Not connected. This pin can be tied to ground to improve thermal dissipation.
