Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
When the cathode or output voltage or current of the TL43x-Q1 is being fed back to the reference or input pin in any form, the device operates in closed loop. The majority of applications involving the TL43x-Q1 use it in this manner to regulate a fixed voltage or current. The feedback enables this device to behave as an error amplifier, computing a portion of the output voltage and adjusting it to maintain the desired regulation. This is done by relating the output voltage back to the reference pin in a manner to make it equal to the internal reference voltage, which can be accomplished through resistive or direct feedback.
