(1) Within the functional range the device operates as described in the circuit
description. The electrical characteristics are specified within the conditions
given in the related
Electrical Characteristics table.
(2) VIN > VADJ + VDROPOUT
(3) The minimum output capacitance requirement is applicable for a worst-case capacitance tolerance of 30%. When a resistor divider is connected between the OUT and FB pins (the output voltage is higher than reference voltage), a 47nF feedforward capacitor is required to be connected between the OUT and FB pins for loop stability, and the ESR range of the output capacitor is required to be from 0.001 to 10Ω.
(4) Relevant ESR value at f = 10kHz
