UM165XX

Pin Function

GND (Pin1): Ground and Heat Sink. Solder to a ground plane or large pad to maximize heat

dissipation.

OUT (Pin 2): Voltage Regulated Output. The OUT pin supplies power to the load. A minimum

output capacitor of 1μF is required to ensure stability. Larger output capacitors may be required for

applications with large transient loads to limit peak voltage transients. See the Applications

Information section for more information on output capacitance.

IN (Pin 3): Power for UM165XX and Load. Power is supplied to the devices through the IN pin.

The IN pin should be locally bypassed to ground if the UM165XX series are more than a few

inches away from another source of bulk capacitance. In general, the output impedance of a battery

rises with frequency, so it is usually advisable to include an input bypass capacitor in

battery-powered circuits. A capacitor in the range of 0.1μF to 1μF is usually sufficient. The

UM165XX series are designed to withstand reverse voltages on the IN pin with respect to both

ground and the output pin. In the case of a reversed input, which can happen if a battery is plugged

in backwards, the UM165XX will act as if there is a large resistor in series with its input with only

a small amount of current flow.
