AME1084
n Application Description
1. Output Voltage Adjustment
put by comparing the output voltage to an internally gen-
erated reference voltage. On the adjustable version, the

set to conduct 10mA (minimum output load). The output
voltage is given by the following equation:

3. Current Limit Protection
Current protection is triggered at typical 7.5A.
4. Stability and Load Regulation
provide compensation feedback to the internal gain stage.
This is to ensure stability at the output terminal. Typi-
cally, a 10 F tantalum or 50 F aluminum electrolytic is
sufficient.
