OVERLOAD RECOVERY (continued)
If this limited current is not sufficient to develop the designed
voltage across the output resistor, the voltage will stabilize at some
lower value, and will never reach the designed value. Under these
circumstances, it may be necessary to cycle the input voltage down
to zero in order to make the regulator output voltage return to
regulation.
RIPPLE REJECTION
Ripple rejection can be improved by connecting a capacitor
between the ADJ pin and ground. The value of the capacitor should
be chosen so that the impedance of the capacitor is equal in
magnitude to the resistance of R1 at the ripple frequency. The
capacitor value can be determined by using this equation:

amplitude will be essentially independent of the output voltage. If
an ADJ pin bypass capacitor is not used, output ripple will be
proportional to the ratio of the output voltage to the reference
voltage:

OUTPUT VOLTAGE

the output and the adjust terminal (See Figure 2). By placing a resistor,
R1, between these two terminals, a constant current is caused to flow
through R1 and down through R2 to set the overall output voltage.
Normally this current is the specified minimum load current of 10mA.
Because I

LOAD REGULATION
Because the
it is not possible to provide true remote load sensing. Load
regulation will be limited by the resistance of the wire connecting
the regulator to the load. The data sheet specification for load
regulation is measured at the bottom of the package. Negative side
sensing is a true Kelvin connection, with the bottom of the output
divider returned to the negative side of the load. Although it may
not be immediately obvious, best load regulation is obtained when
the top of the resistor divider, (R1), is connected directly to the case
of the regulator, not to the load. This is illustrated in Figure 3. If R1
were connected to the load, the effective resistance between the
regulator and the load would be:
