6.3.2 Fixed Operation

The TPS73801 can be used in a fixed voltage configuration. By connecting the FB pin to OUT the TPS73801 regulates the output to 1.21 V. During fixed voltage operation, the FB pin can be used for a Kelvin connection if routed separately to the load. This connection allows the regulator to compensate for voltage drop across parasitic resistances (RP) between the output and the load. This compensation becomes more crucial with higher load currents.
