= 0°C to 125°C. Pulse testing
techniques are used to maintain the junction temperature as close to the ambient temperature as possible.
Line regulation is expressed here as the percentage change in output voltage per 1-V change at the input.
C
ADJ
is connected between the ADJUST terminal and GND.
Maximum power dissipation is a function of T
J
(max),
θ
JA
, and T
A
. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable ambient
temperature is P
D
= (T
J
(max) – T

)/θ
JA
. Operating at the absolute maximum T
J
of 150°C can affect reliability.
