ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Note 1:
Low duty cycle pulse testing with Kelvin connections is required to order to maintain accurate data.
Note 2:
Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum differential between V
IN
and V
OUT
or V
CTRL
and V
OUT
required to
maintain regulation at V
95% Nominal V
.
Note 3:
