7.1.9 Dropout Voltage (VDO)

Generally, the dropout voltage often refers to the minimum voltage difference between the input and output voltage (VDO = VIN – VOUT) required for regulation. When VIN drops below the required VDO for the given load current, the device functions as a resistive switch and does not regulate output voltage. Dropout voltage is proportional to the output current because the device is operating as a resistive switch.

Dropout voltage is affected by the drive strength for the gate of the pass transistor, which is nonlinear with respect to VIN on this device because of the internal charge pump. The charge pump causes a higher dropout voltage at lower input voltages when a bias rail is not used.

For this device, dropout voltage increases exponentially when the input voltage nears the maximum operating voltage because the charge pump is internally clamped to 8.0V.
