GROUND CURRENT CONSUMPTION
Ground current measurements can determine how much current
the internal circuits of the regulator consume while the circuits
perform the regulation function. For efficiency, the regulator
must consume as little current as possible. Typically, the regulator
uses the maximum current when supplying the largest load level
(1.2 A). The typical ground current consumption for various load
current levels at VOUT = 3.3 V and TA = 25°C is shown in Figure 8.
When the device is disabled (EN = GND), the ground current
typically drops to 0.2 µA.
