(Unless otherwise specified, Vin = 12 V for the 3.3 V, 5.0 V, and Adjustable version, Vin = 25 V for
the 12 V version, and Vin = 30 V for the 15 V version. ILoad = 500 mA. For typical values TJ = 25°C,
for min/max values TJ is the operating junction temperature range that applies [Note 2], unless
otherwise noted.)
