MCP1501 1.1.7 INPUT CURRENT The input current (operating current) is the current that sinks from VIN to GND without a load current on the output pin. This current is affected by temperature, input voltage, output voltage, and the load current. 1.1.8 POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO Power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) is a measure of the change in output voltage (∆VOUT) relative to the change in input voltage (∆VIN) over frequency. 1.1.9 LONG-TERM DRIFT The long-term output stability is measured by exposing the devices to an ambient temperature of +125°C, as shown in Figure 2-18 while configured in the circuit shown in Figure 1-1. In this test, all electrical specifications of the devices are measured periodically at +25°C. Power VIN GND FB VOUT Signal In FIGURE 1-1: 1.1.10 GND GND GND GND Long-Term Drift Test Circuit. OUTPUT VOLTAGE HYSTERESIS The output voltage hysteresis is a measure of the output voltage error after the powered devices are cycled over the entire operating temperature range. The amount of hysteresis can be quantified by measuring the change in the +25°C output voltage after temperature excursions from +25°C to +125°C to +25°C, and also from +25°C to –40°C to +25°C. 2015-2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
