Adjusting the Output Voltage

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