Caution: The absolute maximum ratings are rated values exceeding which the product could suffer physical damage.
These values must therefore not be exceeded under any conditions.

Notes: 4. For the operations in low input voltage, AP1538 can tolerate down to 3.6V but max output current loading will be less than 3A. For nominal
applications in such low input voltage range, especially lower than 4V, a higher ROCSET with larger heat sink is recommended.
