PRODUCTION DATA.
Referring to the adjustable regulator in Figure 23, the output voltage is programmed by the resistors R1 and R2 by the following formula:
Resistors R1 and R2 divide the output voltage down so that it can be compared with the 1.23-V internal reference. With R2 between 1k and 5k, R1 is:
where
For best temperature coefficient and stability with time, use 1% metal film resistors.
