Semiconductor package is a carrier / shell used to contain and cover one or more semiconductor components or integrated circuits. The material of the shell can be metal, plastic, glass or ceramic.
The Maximum Operating Temperature is the maximum body temperature at which the thermistor is designed to operate for extended periods of time with acceptable stability of its electrical characteristics.
The maximum current that can be supplied to the load.
The rated output current is the maximum load current that a power supply can provide at a specified ambient temperature. A power supply can never provide more current that it's rated output current unless there is a fault, such as short circuit at the load.
A regulator is a mechanism or device that controls something such as pressure, temperature, or fluid flow. The voltage regulator keeps the power level stabilized. A regulator is a mechanism or device that controls something such as pressure, temperature, or fluid flow.
Dropout voltage is the input-to-output differential voltage at which the circuit ceases to regulate against further reductions in input voltage; this point occurs when the input voltage approaches the output voltage.
The actual voltage at which a circuit operates can vary from the nominal voltage within a range that permits satisfactory operation of equipment. The word “nominal” means “named”.
