DESCRIPTIONPin No.Pin Name Description1 Adj (GND)A resistor divider from this pin to the Vout pin and ground sets the output voltage (Ground only forFixedMode).2VoutThe output of the regulator. A minimum of 10 F capacitor (20 m ESR 20 ) must be connec-ted from this pin to ground to insure stability.3VinThe input pin of regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor (20 m ESR 20 ) is connectedfrom this pin to ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum dropoutvoltage during the load transient response. This pin must always be 1.3 V (typ.) higher than Vout inorder for the device to regulate properly.Table 2.
