Programming the Output Voltage

The output voltage can be programmed using a resistor divider between the output and the feedback pins, as shown in Figure 7-4. The resistors are selected such that the voltage at the feedback pin is 1.26V. RF1 and RF2 can be selected using the equation,

Equation 14. LM3488

A 100pF capacitor can be connected between the feedback and ground pins to reduce noise.
