PRODUCTION DATA.
When using ATL43x as a Linear Regulator to supply a load, designers will typically use a bypass capacitor on the output/cathode pin. Be sure that the capacitance is within the stability criteria shown in Figure 15 through Figure 22.
In order to not exceed the maximum cathode current, be sure that the supply voltage is current limited. Also, be sure to limit the current being driven into the Ref pin, as not to exceed it's absolute maximum rating.
For applications shunting high currents, pay attention to the cathode and anode trace lengths, adjusting the width of the traces to have the proper current density.
