SLVSE31C January 2018 – July 2018 TPSM84209
PRODUCTION DATA.
Voltage dropout is the difference between the input voltage and output voltage that is required to maintain output voltage regulation while providing the rated output current.
To ensure the TPSM84209 maintains output voltage regulation over the recommended operating range, the minimum recommended input voltage is 4.5 V or (VOUT × 1.3), whichever is greater. However, the TPSM84209 does produce an output voltage when operated below the recommended input voltage range. Figure 27 shows the typical dropout voltage curves for 5-V output at TA = 25°C. (Note: As ambient temperature increases, dropout voltage and frequency foldback occur at higher input voltage.)
