PRODUCTION DATA
The buck regulator also supports the voltage requirement to fed to external LDO to generate standard 3.3 V or 5.0 V output rail with higher accuracies. The buck output voltage should be configured to 4 V or 5.5 V to provide for a extra headroom to support the external LDO for generating 3.3 V or 5 V rail as shown in Figure 8-11.
This allows for a lower-voltage LDO design to save cost and better thermal management due to low drop-out voltage.
