9 Power Supply Recommendations

The LP396x devices are designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.5 V and 7 V. The input voltage range provides adequate headroom in order for the device to have a regulated output. This input supply must be well regulated. An input capacitor of at least 68 μF is required.
