The power output of the device. There must be a minimum current flow into this pin is about 1.7% of the output load current of 1mA or the output may not regulate. current. For the device to regulate, this voltage must be SET (Pin 4/Pin 4/Pin 2/Pin 2/Pin 1): This pin is the input more than 1.2V to 1.35V greater than the output voltage to the error amplifier and the regulation set point for (see dropout specifications). the device. A fixed current of 10µA flows out of this pin IN (Pins 7, 8/Pins 7, 8/Pin 5/Pin 5/Pin 3): This is the through a single external resistor, which programs the collector to the power device of the LT3080.
