Perform through evaluation using the actual application to set the constant.
„ Technical Terms
1. Low dropout voltage regulator
The low dropout voltage regulator is a voltage regulator having a low dropout voltage characteristic due to
the internal low on-resistance transistor.
2. Output voltage (VOUT)
The accuracy of the output voltage is ensured at ±2.0 % under the specified conditions of input voltage,
output current, and temperature, which differ product by product.
Caution When the above conditions are changed, the output voltage may vary and go out of the
accuracy range of the output voltage. Refer to the “„ Electrical Characteristics” and
“„ Characteristics” for details.
3. Line regulation 1 (∆VOUT1) and Line regulation 2 (∆VOUT2)
Line regulation indicates the input voltage dependence of the output voltage. The value shows how much
the output voltage changes due to the change of the input voltage when the output current is kept
constant.
