8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The resistor RS must be selected such that current lR remains in the operational region of the part for the entire VIN range and load current range. At the maximum, the RS must be small enough for lR to remain above lRMN. The other extreme is when VIN at the maximum and the load at the minimum; the RS must be large enough to maintain lR < lRMAX. If unsure, try using 0.1mA ≤ lR ≤ 1mA as starting point. Just remember the value of lR varies with input and voltage load.

Use equations Equation 5 and Equation 6 to set RS between RS_MIN and RS_MAX.
