In the rapidly evolving world of integrated circuits, keeping track of updated documentation is critical for design success. The has emerged as a versatile component in power management and signal processing, yet engineers often struggle to find the new datasheet—free from obsolete parameters or fragmented revisions.
New answer: 1.2V (compatible with 1.8V and 3.3V logic). Old version required 2.0V. Do not exceed V(_IN) on EN pin.
