Voltage regulator external components

Hi,
I'm just about to make circuits using MCP1702T surface mount 3.3v regulators.
Do I need any other external components for it, or will it be ok on it's own?

EDIT: I've found the answer! They need a 1uF ceramic capacitors from each power pin to GND.

What's the input voltage and output current?
You need to be concerned about the power it will dissipate and whether it needs any heat sink.
