LT1175 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICSThe l denotes specifi cations which apply over the full operatingtemperature range, otherwise specifi cations are at TA = 25°C. VOUT = 5V, VIN = 7V, IOUT = 0, VSHDN = 3V, ILIM2 and ILIM4 tied to VIN.To avoid confusion with “min” and “max” as applied to negative voltages, all voltages are shown as absolute values except where polarity is not obvious.PARAMETERCONDITIONSMINTYPMAXUNITS Current Limit (Note 12) VIN – VOUT = 1V to 12V l 520 800 1300 mA ILIM2 Open l 390 600 975 mA ILIM4 Open l 260 400 650 mA ILIM2, ILIM4 Open l 130 200 325 mA Line Regulation (Note 11) VIN – VOUT = 1V to VIN = 20V l 0.003 0.015 %/V Load Regulation (Note 6, 11) IOUT = 0mA to 500mA l 0.1 0.35 % Thermal Regulation P = 0 to PMAX (Notes 4, 9) 5-Pin Packages 0.04 0.1 %/W 8-Pin Packages 0.1 0.2 %/W Output Voltage Temperature Drift TJ = 25°C to TJMIN, or 25°C to TJMAX 0.25 1.25 % Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings Note 7: This is the current required to pull the output voltage to within 1V may cause permanent damage to the device.
