Voltage
(1) Typicals are at T
J
= 25°C and represent the most likely parametric norm.
(2) The minimum input voltage required for proper biasing of these regulators is 4.75V. Below this level the outputs will fall out of regulation.
This effect is not the normal dropout characteristic where the output falls out of regulation due to the PNP pass transistor entering
saturation. If a value for worst case effective input to output dropout voltage is required in a specification, the values should be 2.37V
maximum for the LM2937-2.5 and 1.6V maximum for the LM2937-3.3.
