NOTES:
Note 1: Maximum positive supply voltage of 20V must be of limited duration (<100ms) and duty cycle of less than 1%. The maximum continuous supply
voltage is 16V.
Note 2: Full load current (I
) is defined as 3.0A.
Note 3: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential when the output voltage drops to 99% of its nominal value.
Note 4: V
= V
+1V. For example, use V
= 4.3V for a 3.3V regulator. Employ pulse-testing procedures to minimize temperature rise.
Note 5: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current to the ground current.
Note 6: Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range
Note 7: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load / line regulation effects.

= 20V (a 4W pulse) for t = 10ms.

Note 9: Comparator threshold is expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Adjust terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured 6V input. To
express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply the error amplifier gain = V
/V
= (R1 + R2)/R2. For example, at a programmable
output voltage of 5V, the Error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95mVx 5V/ 1.240V = 38mV. Threshold remain constant as a percent of
V
as V
OUT
is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.7% guaranteed.
