    Don't be suprised if others "scold" you for not reading the free documentation.
    The attached should answer your question.

    If something is unclear, write back.

    Yup, input of 5.5 to 15 volts on Vin -- the limiting factor here is the power dissapation of the linear regulator.

    Current I'm not so sure about -- it's low, though (less than 10 mA just for the BS2). The BS2 is good for battery powered applications.

    I suppose if you put 30 volts DC on Vin, you'd burn some stuff up.
