(1) All limits are ensured. All electrical characteristics having room-temperature limits are tested during production at T
J
= 25°C or correlated
using Statistical Quality Control methods. Operation over the temperature specification is ensured by correlating the electrical
characteristics to process and temperature variations and applying statistical process control.

+ 0.5V or 1.65V, whichever is greater. (See post DC/DC convertor example in application information section).
(3) The device will operate with input voltages up to 4.0V. However special care should be taken in relation to thermal dissipation and the
need to derate the maximum allowable ambient temperature.
(4) The maximum ambient temperature (T
A(max)
) is dependant on the maximum operating junction temperature (T
J(max-op)
= 125°C), the
maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (P
D(max)
), and the junction to ambient thermal resistance of the part /
package in the application (θ
JA
), as given by the following equation: T
A(max)
= T
J(max-op)
- (θ
JA
× P
D(max)
).
(5) Junction to ambient thermal resistance is dependant on the application and board layout. In applications where high maximum power
dissipation is possible, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design.
(6) Dropout voltage is voltage difference between input and output at which the output voltage drops to 100mV below its nominal value.
This parameter is only specified for output voltages above 1.8V.
(7) The device maintains the regulated output voltage without a load.
(8) Short circuit current is measured with V
OUT
pulled to 0V.
(9) This electrical specification is ensured by design.
(10) Enable Pin has an internal 1.2MΩ typical, resistor connected to GND.
