Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the
device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics tables.

Note 4:
Guaranteed but not 100% production tested. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing AQL levels.
Note 5:
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value measured at 1V differential.
At very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account.
Note 6:
Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the feedback terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured at

+1)V. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier gain = Vout/Vref = (R1 + R2)/R2. For example,
at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.235 = 384 mV. Thresholds remain constant

Note 10:
Output or reference voltage temperature coefficients defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Note 11:
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation
effects. Specifications are for a 50mA load pulse at V
IN
=42V (1.25W pulse) for T =10 ms.
Note 12:
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are
covered under the specification for thermal regulation.
