Note 1.
Stresses listed as the above

operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may remain possibility to affect device reliability.
Note 2.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution recommended.
Note 3.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
Note 4.
The dropout voltage is defined as V

OUT
, which is measured when V
OUT
is V
OUT(NORMAL)
100mV.
Note 5.
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature by using a 20ms current pulse. Devices are tested for load
regulation in the load range from 1mA to 600mA respectively.
Note 6.
Quiescent, or ground current, is the difference between input and output currents. It is defined by I
Q
= I
IN
- I
OUT
under
no load condition (I
OUT
= 0mA). The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground
pin current.
