voltages from 1.25 V to 5.0 V at currents up to 8.0 A. The
regulator is protected against short circuits, and includes a
thermal shutdown circuit with hysteresis. The output, which
is current limited, consists of a PNP−NPN transistor pair and
requires an output capacitor for stability. A detailed
procedure for selecting this capacitor is included in the
Stability Considerations section.

that there are no supply sequencing problems. The output
voltage will not turn on until both supplies are operating. If
the control voltage comes up first, the output current will be
typically limited to about 3.0 mA until the power input
voltage comes up. If the power input voltage comes up first
the output will not turn on at all until the control voltage
comes up. The output can never come up unregulated.

dropout will be determined by the minimum control voltage.

eliminate errors in the output voltage due to load regulation.
Regulation will be optimized at the point where the sense pin
is tied to the output.
