Typical DC Characteristics
Unless stated otherwise, all DC characteristics were
measured at room temperature with a nominal V
CC
supply voltage of 5.0 volts and an output capacitance
of 10
µF.
V
CC
Line Regulation, as shown in Figure 1, is mea-
sured while forcing the deselect threshold to an artifi-
cial low level for loads of 100mA, 500mA and 1.5A. At
the maximum rated load of 1.5A, a drop in line regula-
tion occurs when the V
CC
supply voltage drops below
3.8V. For light load conditions (100mA), regulation is
maintained as low as 3.2V.

Load Regulation (pulse condition) performance
is shown up to and beyond the rated load. A change in
load from 10% to 100% of rated current (150mA to
1500mA) results in an output voltage change of about
20mV. This translates into an effective output imped-
ance of less than 15MΩ.

Load Regulation (pulse condition) perfor-
mance is shown up to and beyond the rated load. A
change in load from 10% to 100% of rated (50mA to
500mA) results in an output voltage change of about
20mV. This translates into an effective output imped-
ance of less than 50MΩ.
