Seiko Instruments Inc.
Explanation of Terms
1. Low dropout voltage regulator
The low dropout voltage regulator is a voltage regulator whose dropout voltage is low due to its built-in
low on-resistance transistor.
2. Low ESR
A capacitor whose ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) is low. The S-1323 Series enables use of a low
ESR capacitor, such as a ceramic capacitor, for the output-side capacitor C
L
. A capacitor whose ESR is
10 Ω or less can be used.
3. Output voltage (V
OUT
)
The accuracy of the output voltage is ensured at ±1.0% under the specified conditions of fixed input
voltage
*1
, fixed output current, and fixed temperature.
*1. Differs depending the product.
Caution If the above conditions change, the output voltage value may vary and exceed the
accuracy range of the output voltage. Please see the electrical characteristics and
attached characteristics data for details.

Indicates the dependency of the output voltage on the input voltage. That is, the values show how much
the output voltage changes due to a change in the input voltage with the output current remaining
unchanged.
