PRODUCTION DATA
The buck regulator also supports the voltage requirement to supply an external LDO to generate standard 3.3-V or 5-V output rail with higher accuracies. The buck output voltage should be configured to 4-V or 5.7-V to provide extra headroom to support the external LDO for generating 3.3-V or 5-V rail as shown in Figure 8-5. This allows for a lower-voltage LDO design to save cost and better thermal management due to low drop-out voltage.
