SNVSAK0A October 2017 – October 2019 LM76002 , LM76003
PRODUCTION DATA.
For highest efficiency of operation, TI recommends that the BIAS pin be connected directly to VOUT when 3.3 V ≤ VOUT ≤ 24 V. In this self-bias mode of operation, the difference between the input and output voltages of the internal LDO are reduced, and therefore the total efficiency of the LM76002/LM76003 is improved. These efficiency gains are more evident during light load operation. During this mode of operation, the LM76002/LM76003 operates with a minimum quiescent current of 15 µA (typical). See Internal LDO, VCC UVLO, and Bias Input for more details.
