ADR291WTERMINOLOGY Line RegulationTemperature Coefficient Line regulation refers to the change in output voltage due to a Temperature coefficient is the change of output voltage over specified change in input voltage. It includes the effects of self- the operating temperature change, normalized by the output heating. Line regulation is expressed as percent per volt, parts voltage at 25°C, expressed in ppm/°C. The equation follows: per million per volt, or microvolts per volt change in input TCV V T V T ppm/C OUT 2 OUT 1 6 10 voltage. O V 25CT T OUT 2 1 Load Regulation where: The change in output voltage is due to a specified change in VOUT (25°C) = VOUT at 25°C. load current and includes the effects of self-heating. Load VOUT (T1) = VOUT at Temperature 1. regulation is expressed in microvolts per milliampere, parts per VOUT (T2) = VOUT at Temperature 2. million per milliampere, or ohms of dc output resistance. NC = No ConnectLong-Term Stability There are internal connections at NC pins that are reserved for Long-term stability refers to the typical shift of output voltage manufacturing purposes. Users should not connect anything at at 25°C on a sample of parts subjected to a test of 1000 hours the NC pins. at 125°C. Thermally Induced Output Voltage Hysteresis V V t V t Thermally induced output voltage hysteresis is defined as the OUT OUT 0 OUT 1 V t V t change of output voltage after the device is cycled through V ppm OUT 0 OUT 1 6 OUT temperatures from +25°C to −40°C, then to +85°C, and back to V t OUT 0 10 +25°C.
