Output Voltage
The AMC7580-ADJ develops a 1.25V reference voltage between the Sense pin and the Adjust pin (Figure 5).
Placing a resistor between these two terminals causes a constant current to flow thought R1 and down though R2 to
set the output voltage. In general R1 is chosen so that this current is the specified minimum load current of 10 mA.
The current out of the Adjust pin is small, typically 50
µA and it adds to the current for R1. For best regulation the
top of the resistor divider should be connected directly to the Sense pin.
