functional, but specific performance is not guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and
the best conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
* 2 All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature
extremes(bold type face). All room temperature limits are 100% production tested. All
limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical
Quality Control (SQC) methods.
* 3 External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors, and
voltage programming resistors can affect switching regulator system performance.
* 4 Output pin sourcing current. No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output pin.
* 5 Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 0V.
* 6 Feedback pin removed from output and connected to +12V for the 3.3V, 5V, and the
ADJ version, to force the output transistor switch OFF.
* 7 VIN = 40V
* 8 The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 11 KHz in the event of an output
short or an overload which causes the regulated output voltage to drop approximately 40%
from the nominal output voltage. The self-protection feature lowers the average power
dissipation of the minimum duty cycle from 5% down to approximately 2%.
