Step 1 / 3

Read the package map

The two selected packages swap VIN and VOUT pin numbers; GND is pin 1 in both.

Step 2 / 3

Keep capacitance effective

Use at least 1 µF X7R or X5R output capacitance after tolerance, temperature and DC bias.

Step 3 / 3

Check voltage and heat

The input is limited to 6 V in normal use. Compute dissipation for the actual load and mounting.
