(Pin 1): Regulated Output Voltage. V

is discon-
nected from V
IN
during shutdown. Bypass V

to ground
with a ≥10µF low ESR capacitor.

IN
(Pin 4): Input Voltage. V
IN
may be between 2.4V and
6V. Bypass V
IN
to ground with a ≥10µF low ESR capacitor.
SHDN/SS (Pin 5): Shutdown/Soft-Start Control. The pin
is designed to be driven with an external open-drain
output. Holding the SHDN/SS pin below 0.25V will force
the part into shutdown mode. An internal pull-up current
of 2µA will force the SHDN/SS voltage to climb to V
IN
once
the device driving the pin is forced into a Hi-Z state. To
limit inrush current on start-up, connect a capacitor
between the SHDN/SS pin and ground. Capacitance on
the SHDN/SS pin will limit the dV/dt of the pin during turn-
on which, in turn, will limit the dV/dt of V
OUT
. By selecting
an appropriate soft-start capacitor for a known output
capacitor, the user can control the inrush current during
