(1) Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is intended to be functional, but does not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and conditions,
see the Electrical Characteristics.
(2) Device operation must be evaluated, and derated as needed, based on ambient temperature (TA), power dissipation (PD), maximum
allowable operating junction temperature (TJ(MAX)), and package thermal resistance (θJA).
Electrical Characteristics
Unless otherwise specified: VIN = 2.5V, IOUT = 10 mA, CIN = 10 µF, COUT = 10 µF, VEN = 2.0V. 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 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) The line and load regulation specification contains only the typical number. However, the limits for line and load regulation are included
in the output voltage tolerance specification.
(2) Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in the voltage at the
input.
(3) Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in the load current at the
output.
(4) Dropout voltage (VDO) is typically defined as the input to output voltage differential (VIN - VOUT) where the input voltage is low enough to
cause the output voltage to drop 2% from the nominal value. For the LP38513, the minimum operating voltage of 2.25V is the limiting
factor and the maximum dropout voltage is defined as: VDO(MAX) = VIN(MIN) - VOUT(MIN) = (i.e. 2.25V - (1.80V x 95.9%) = 524 mV)
