Bypass with 10µF capacitor. FEEDBACK (Pin 2): This is the feedback point of the Must always be more positive than ground. regulator. When operating, it is nominally at 2.5V. REF (Pin 6): Reference. 2.5V can source or sink current. Optimum source resistance is 200k to 500k. The feedback May be shorted to ground or up to 5V. Voltages in excess pin should not be driven below ground or more positive of 5V can damage the device. than 5V. COMP OUT (Pin 7): Open Collector NPN Output.
