PRODUCTION DATA
The UVLO circuit responds quickly to glitches on the input supplies and attempts to disable the output of the device if either of these rails collapse.
As a result of the fast response time of the input supply UVLO circuit, fast and short line transients well below the input supply UVLO falling threshold (brownouts) can cause momentary glitches during the edges of the transient. These glitches are typical in most LDOs. The local input capacitance prevents severe brown-outs in most applications; see the Undervoltage Lockout (UVLOx) Control section in the Application Information for more details. Fast line transients can cause the outputs to momentarily shut off, and can be mitigated through using the recommended 10µF input capacitor. If this becomes a problem in the system, increasing the input capacitance prevents these glitches from occurring.
