2.1.4.3 Internal error amplifier offset voltage

Most LDO regulators are trimmed to obtain the most accurate reference voltage possible. However, in some cases the soft-start pin may not be trimmed which results in non-trivial offset voltage remaining in the system during the turn-on period. In those cases, the turn-on period completes slightly faster than expected.
