= C in is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter. ** = C O is not needed for stability, however, it does improve transient response.
$$V_{out} = 1.25\ V \left(1 + \frac{R_2}{R_1}\right) + I_{Adj}, R_2$$
Since I Adj is controlled to less than 100 m A, the error associated with this term is negligible in most applications.
