Note 1: Dropout is caused by either minimum control voltage (V
CTRL
) or minimum power voltage (V
PWR
). Both parameters are specified with respect to
the output voltage. The specifications represent the minimum input/output voltage required to maintain 1% regulation.
Note 2: The control pin current is the drive current required for the output transistor. This current will track output current with roughly a 1:100 ratio.
The minimum value is equal to the quiescent current of the device.
Note 3: Minimum load current is defined as the amount of output current required to maintain regulation. Typically this current provides the bias to the
external resistor divider network used to set the output voltage.
