Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the
device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics tables.

Note 5:
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value measured at 1V
differential. At very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account.

example, at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.235 = 384 mV. Thresholds

Note 8:
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance are as follows:60°C/W for the TO-220 (T), 73°C/W for the TO-263 (M), 80°C/W for the TO-252 (D),
90°C/W for the SOT-223 (with package soldering to copper area over backside ground plane or internal power plane
ϕ
JA
can vary from 46°C/W to
>90°C/W
depending on mounting technique and the size of the copper area), 105°C/W for the molded plastic DIP (P) and 160°C/W for the molded plastic SO-8 (S).
Note 9:
May exceed input supply voltage.
Note 10:
When used in dual-supply systems where the output terminal sees loads returned to a negative supply, the output voltage should be diode-clamped to
ground.

Note 12:
Output or reference voltage temperature coefficients defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Note 13:
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line
regulation effects. Specifications are for a 50mA load pulse at V
IN
=30V (1.25W pulse) for T =10 ms.
Note 14:
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects
are covered under the specification for thermal regulation.
