Output Voltage

Consider Figure 2. The resistance R1 generates a constant

current flow, normally the specified load current of 10mA.

This current will go through the resistance R2 to set the

overall output voltage. The current IADJ is very small and

constant. Therefore its contribution to the overall output

voltage is very small and can generally be ignored.

Load Regulation

Parasitic line resistance can degrade load regulation. In order

not to affect the behavior of the regulator, it is best to connect

directly the R1 resistance from the resistor divider to the case,

and not to the load. For the same reason, it is best to connect

the resistor R2 to the Negative side of the load.

Output Voltage

The fixed voltage LDO voltage regulators are simple to use

regulators since the VOUT is preset to the specifications. It is

important however, to provide the proper output capacitance

for stability and improvement. For most operating conditions

a capacitance of 22uF tantalum or 100uF electrolytic will

ensure stability and prevent oscillation.
