As load currents increase, the LDO power dissipation and junction temperature will rise. At elevated temperatures the LDO may enter thermal shutdown. By making some basic calculations using VIN, VOUT, the ambient temperature TA, the maximum desired junction temperature TJ, and the thermal impedance TJA, we can obtain a maximum current each LDO is allowed to provide. The maximum current an LDO can provide is either Equation 4 or the full rated current ILDO_MAX listed in the data sheet.
