PRODUCTION DATA
This terminal is connected to an external capacitor and provides a regulated supply to power a circuit such as a real-time clock integrated circuit, or functions requiring a well-regulated supply. Maximum current load on this pin cannot exceed IREG mA.
The REG output has protection for overcurrent, using a current limit protection circuit, and also detects and protects for excessive power dissipation due to short circuit of the external load. This pin requires a ceramic 1-µF capacitor connection to VSS for improved stability, noise immunity, and ESD performance of the supply output. This capacitor must be placed close to the REG and VSS pins for connection.
