See Figure 6 for typical load regulation performance for loads less than 1 mA. 2 Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output voltage differential when the input voltage is set to the nominal output voltage. This applies only for output voltages above 2.2 V. 3 Start-up time is defined as the time between the rising edges of EN to VOUT being at 90% of its nominal value. 4 Current limit threshold is defined as the current at which the output voltage drops to 90% of the specified typical value. For example, the current limit for a 3.0 V output voltage is defined as the current that causes the output voltage to drop to 90% of 3.0 V or 2.7 V.

The ful range of operating conditions in the application must be considered during device selection to ensure that the minimum capacitance specification is met. X7R-type and X5R-type capacitors are recommended, and Y5V and Z5U capacitors are not recommended for use with any LDO. Rev.
