The device regulates to the nominal output voltage under the following conditions:
- The input voltage is greater than the
nominal output voltage plus the dropout voltage (VOUT(nom) +
VDO)
- The headroom across the LDO
(VIN - VOUT) is less than VPHEADROOM for required
IOUT, such that power limit is not engaged
- The output current is less than the
current limit (IOUT < ICL)
- The device junction temperature is
greater than –40°C and less than +150°C
- The device junction temperature is less
than the thermal shutdown temperature (TJ < TSD)
- The enable voltage has previously
exceeded the enable rising threshold voltage and has not yet decreased to less than the
enable falling threshold
