Output voltage (for new chip) 1.2 5.0
VBYPASS Bypass voltage 1.2 V
VON/OFF Enable voltage (for legacy chip) 0 VIN V
Enable voltage (for new chip) 0 16
IOUT Output current 0 250 mA
CIN(1) Input capacitor 1 μF
COUT Output capacitance (for legacy chip) 2.2 4.7 μF
Output capacitance (for new chip) (1) 1 2.2 200
COUT ESR(3) Output capacitor ESR (for new chip)(2) 0 1
TJ Operating junction temperature –40 125 °C
All capacitor values are assumed to derate to 50% of the nominal capacitor value. Maintain an effective output capacitance of 1 μF minimum for stability.
Details related to supported ESR range for the legacy chip are available in Recommended Capacitors for the Legacy Chip
Maximum supported ESR range for new chip is 1Ω. For output capacitor with higher ESR values, place a low ESR MLCC capacitor with value of 100nF, close to the output pin of the LDO.
