(1) Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Operating ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is intended to be functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits (see Electrical Characteristics).
Specifications do not apply when operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions.
(2) Device power dissipation must be de-rated based on device power dissipation (TD), ambient temperature (TA), and package junction to
ambient thermal resistance (RθJA). Additional heat-sinking may be required to ensure that the device junction temperature (TJ) does not
exceed the maximum operating rating. See Application and Implementation for details.

6.5 Electrical Characteristics
Unless otherwise specified: VIN = VOUT(NOM) + 1 V, VBIAS = 3 V, IOUT = 10 mA, CIN = COUT = 10 µF, CBIAS = 1 µF, VEN = VBIAS.
Limits apply for TJ = 25°C only unless otherwise specified. Minimum and Maximum limits are specified 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.

(1) Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from nominal value resulting from a change in input voltage.
(2) Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from nominal value as the load current increases from no load
to full load.
(3) Dropout voltage is defined the as input to output voltage differential (VIN - VOUT) where the input voltage is low enough to cause the
output voltage to drop no more than 2% from the nominal value
