Resistors R3 and R4 of Figure 5 program the out-
put to regulate at a voltage higher than 0.6V. To
limit the bias current required for the external feed-
back resistor string while maintaining good noise
immunity, the suggested value for R4 is 59kΩ.
Decreased resistor values are necessary to main-
tain noise immunity on the FB pin, resulting in
increased quiescent current. Table 4 summarizes
the resistor values for various output voltages.

With enhanced transient response for extreme
pulsed load application, an external feed-forward
capacitor (C5 in Figure 5) can be added.
