7.3.7 Adjusting the Output Voltage

The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the VSENSE pin. TI recommends using 1% tolerance or better divider resistors. Start with a 10-kΩ for the R2 resistor and use the Equation 1 to calculate R1. To improve efficiency at light loads consider using larger value resistors. If the values are too high, the regulator will be more susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the VSENSE input current will be noticeable.
