Normally, the current in Note 2: Unless otherwise specified, V the resistor divider used to set the output voltage is selected to meet the OUT = VSENSE. For the LT1581 adjustable device, V minimum load current requirement. ADJ = 0V. Note 3: For the LT1581, dropout is caused by either minimum control Note 5: The CONTROL pin current is the drive current required for the voltage (V output transistor. This current will track output current with roughly a CONTROL) or minimum power voltage (VPOWER). Both parameters are specified with respect to the output voltage. The specifications represent 1:100 ratio. The minimum value is equal to the quiescent current of the the minimum input-to-output voltage required to maintain 1% regulation. device. 3
