2: V
R
 is the regulator output voltage setting. For example: V
R
 = 1.8V, 2.5V, 2.6V, 2.7V, 2.8V, 2.85V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 3.6V, 4.0V, 5.0V.
3:
4: Regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is tested over a load range 
from 1.0 mA to the maximum specified output current. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal 
regulation specification. 
5: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value at a 1V 
differential.
6: Thermal Regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load 
or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a current pulse equal to I
LMAX
 at V
IN
 = 6V for T = 10 ms.
7: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of ambient temperature, the maximum allowable junction temperature and the 
thermal resistance from junction-to-air (i.e., T
A
, T
J
, θ
JA
). Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation causes the device to 
initiate thermal shutdown. Please see Section 5.0 “Thermal Considerations” for more details.
8: Apply for Junction Temperatures of -40°C to +85°C.
