SNVSA13C April 2014 – April 2019 LM46002
PRODUCTION DATA.
For highest efficiency of operation, TI recommends that the BIAS pin be connected directly to VOUT when 3.3 V ≤ VOUT ≤ 28 V. In this self-bias mode of operation, the difference between the input and output voltages of the internal LDO are reduced and therefore the total efficiency of the LM46002 is improved. These efficiency gains are more evident during light load operation. During this mode of operation, the LM46002 operates with a minimum quiescent current of 27 µA (typical). See VCC, UVLO, and BIAS for more details.
