Note 1: Since the reference uses VL as its supply, V+ line-regulation error is insignificant.
Note 2: At very low input voltages, quiescent supply current may increase due to excess PNP base current in the VL linear
regulator. This occurs only if V+ falls below the preset VL regulation point (5V nominal). See the Quiescent Supply Current
vs. Supply Voltage graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
