| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution | |-----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| | No output voltage | Enable pin floating or grounded | Tie EN to VIN if not used | | Output voltage low (<2.5V) | Overcurrent or short circuit | Reduce load or check downstream | | Output voltage = input | IC damaged (pass transistor shorted) | Replace IC | | IC gets very hot | Dropout voltage too high (Vin=5V, Vout=3.3V at 400mA) | Add heatsink or use switching reg | | Ripple or oscillation | Output capacitor ESR too high or missing | Use 1uF-10uF ceramic |
