With this pin it is possible to Kelvin of the LT1580. The output load current is supplied through sense the output voltage at the load. this pin. For the device to regulate, the voltage at this pin must be between 0.1V and 0.8V greater than the output ADJ (Pin 2/5): This pin is the negative side of the voltage (see Dropout specifications). reference voltage for the device. Transient response can be improved by adding a small bypass capacitor from the VCONTROL (Pin 4/3): This pin is the supply pin for the ADJ pin to ground. For fixed voltage devices the ADJ pin control circuitry of the device. The current flow into this is also brought out to allow the user to add a bypass pin will be about 1% of the output current. For the device capacitor. to regulate, the voltage at this pin must be between 1.0V and 1.3V greater than the output voltage (see Dropout GND (Pin 2, 7-Lead Only): For fixed voltage devices this specifications). is the bottom of the resistor divider that sets the output voltage. VOUT (Pin 3/4): This is the power output of the device. 5
