PRODUCTION DATA
Although a noise-reduction and soft-start capacitor (CNR/SS) from the NR/SS pin to GND is not required, CNR/SS is highly recommended to control the start-up time and reduce the noise-floor of the device. For start-up tracking to function correctly, a minimum 4.7nF capacitor is required. As the time constant formed by the feedback resistors and feed-forward capacitors increases, the value of the CNR/SS capacitor must also be increased for start-up tracking to work correctly. To figure out how to calculate the time constant of the feedback network see the Pros and Cons of Using a Feed-Forward Capacitor with a Low Dropout Regulator application note.
