Electrical Characteristics Unless otherwise specified: VIN = VOUT(NOM) + 1V, VBIAS = 3.0V, IOUT = 10 mA, CIN =
COUT = 10 µF, CBIAS = 1µF, VEN = VBIAS. Limits in standard type are for TJ = 25°C only; limits in boldface type apply over the
junction temperature (TJ) range of -40°C to +125°C. Minimum and Maximum limits are guaranteed through test, design, or statistical
correlation. Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm at TJ = 25°C, and are provided for reference purposes only.
