(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) Operating junction temperature 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 (RθJA). See Application and Implementation.

6.5 Electrical Characteristics

Unless otherwise specified VIN = 3.3 V, IOUT = 10 mA, CIN = 10 μF, COUT = 10 μF, VEN = VIN, VOUT = 1.8 V. Minimum and maximum limits apply over the junction temperature (TJ) range of –40°C to +125°C and 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 adjust voltage tolerance specification.
(2) Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential voltage at which the output drops 2% below the nominal value. For any output voltage less than 2.5 V, the minimum VIN operating voltage is the limiting factor.
(3) Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in the input line voltage.
(4) Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in the load current.
