- (4) Short-circuit current (I SC ) is equivalent to current limit. To minimize thermal effects during testing, I SC is measured with VOUT pulled to 100 mV below its nominal voltage.
- (5) Reverse current (I RO ) is measured at the IN pin.
- (6) Quiescent current is defined here as the difference in current between the input voltage source and the load at V OUT .
- (7) Ground current is defined here as the total current flowing to ground as a result of all input voltages applied to the device.
- (8) Dropout voltage (VDO) is the voltage difference between the input and the output at which the output voltage drops to 150 mV below its nominal value when VIN = VOUT + 0.5 V. Dropout voltage is not a valid condition for output voltages less than 1.6 V as compliance with the minimum operating voltage requirement cannot be assured.

LP5912 Typical Application
The LP5912 is designed to meet the requirements of RF and analog circuits, by providing low noise, high PSRR, low quiescent current, and low line or load transient response. The device offers excellent noise performance without the need for a noise bypass capacitor and is stable with input and output capacitors with a value of 1 μ F. The device delivers this performance in an industry standard WSON package, which for this device is specified with an operating junction temperature (TJ) of -40°C to +125°C.
