8.2.1.2 Design Considerations

Input and output capacitors are required to achieve the output voltage transient requirements. Capacitance values of 1 µF are selected to give the maximum output capacitance in a small, low-cost package.

Figure 7 shows the 1.2-V option dropout voltage. Given that dropout voltages are higher for lower output-voltage options, and given that the 1.2-V option dropout voltage is typically less than 300 mV at 125°C, then the 1.5-V option dropout voltage is typically less than 300 mV at 125°C.

Verify that the maximum junction temperature is not exceeded by referring to Figure 34.
