The device regulates to the nominal output voltage
when the following conditions are met:
- The input voltage is greater than
the nominal output voltage plus the dropout voltage (VOUT(nom) +
VDO(IN))
- The bias voltage is greater than
the nominal output voltage plus the dropout voltage (VOUT(nom) +
VDO(BIAS))
- The output current is less than
the current limit (IOUT < ICL)
- The device junction temperature
is less than the thermal shutdown temperature ( TJ <
TSD(shutdown))
- The enable voltage has previously
exceeded the enable rising threshold voltage and has not yet decreased to less
than the enable falling threshold
