ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Specifications with standard type are for an Operating Junction Temperature of TJ = 25°C only; limits applying over the full
Operating Junction Temperature range are denoted by a “•”. Minimum and Maximum limits are guaranteed through test,
design, or statistical correlation. Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm at TJ = 25°C, and are provided for
reference purposes only. Unless otherwise indicated, VIN = VOUT + 1V (VIN = VOUT + 1.2V for 1.2V option), IL = 100µA, CL =
