† Notice: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those indicated
in the operational sections of this specification is not intended. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
‡ Notice: The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating ratings.
Note 1: The maximum allowable power dissipation at any TA (ambient temperature) is PD(max) = (TJ(max) – TA) / θJA.
Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regula-
tor will go into thermal shutdown. The θJA of the SOT-23-5 (M5) is 235°C/W soldered on a PC board (see
“Thermal Considerations” for further details).

The output capacitor should have an ESR (effective EQUATION 4-2:
series resistance) of about 5Ω or less and a resonant
frequency above 1 MHz. Ultra-low-ESR (ceramic)
capacitors can cause a low amplitude oscillation on the

tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are
adequate; film types will work, but are more expensive.
Since many aluminum electrolytics have electrolytes

prevent overshoot.
EQUATION 4-4: To ensure that no overshoot is present when starting up
into a light load (100 µA), use a 4.7 µF output
capacitance and 470 pF bypass capacitance. This
slows the turn-on enough to allow the regulator to react

and keep the output voltage from exceeding its nominal
value. At heavier loads, use a 10 µF output
capacitance and 470 pF bypass capacitance. Lower
values of output and bypass capacitance can be used,

Applications that are not sensitive to overshoot due to

bypass capacitor configurations.
