ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Continued

Electrical characteristics at V

full operating temperature range.

Note 1: Output or reference voltage temperature coefficients defined as the worst case voltage change divided by

the total temperature range.

Note 2: Unless otherwise specified all limits are guaranteed for T

conditions for the 8-pin versions are feedback tied to 5V/3.3V tap and output tied to output sense (V

V

Note 3: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes

in output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal regulation.

Note 4: Line regulation for the SPX2945 is tested at 150°C for I

by design.

Note 5: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below

its nominal value measured at 1V differential at very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input

supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account.

Note 6: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the feedback terminal below the

nominal reference voltage measured at 6V input. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change,

multiply by the error amplifier gain = V

the Error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.235 = 384 mV. Thresholds remain

constant as a percent of V

guaranteed.
