Normally the current in Note 1: Unless otherwise specified V the resistor divider used to set the output voltage is selected to meet the OUT = VSENSE. For the LT1580 adjustable device V minimum load current requirement. ADJ = 0V. Note 2: For the LT1580, dropout is caused by either minimum control Note 4: The control pin current is the drive current required for the output voltage (V transistor. This current will track output current with roughly a 1:100 ratio. CONTROL) or minimum power voltage (VPOWER). Both parameters are specified with respect to the output voltage. The specifications represent The minimum value is equal to the quiescent current of the device. the minimum input/output voltage required to maintain 1% regulation.
