A the output pin of the regulator. In critical applications small minimum output capacitor of 1.5µF is required to prevent voltage drops caused by the resistance (RP) of PC traces oscillations, but larger values of output capacitor will be between the regulator and the load, which would normally necessary to deal with larger load transients. See the degrade regulation, may be eliminated by connecting the Applications Information section for more on output sense pin to the output at the load as shown in Figure 1 capacitance and reverse output characteristics. (Kelvin Sense Connection). Note that the voltage drop across the external PC traces will add to the dropout SENSE (Pin 2): For fixed voltage versions of the LT1521 voltage of the regulator. The sense pin bias current is 5µA (LT1521-3, LT1521-3.3, LT1521-5), the sense pin is the input to the error amplifier. Optimum regulation will be at the nominal regulated output voltage. This pin is inter- obtained at the point where the sense pin is connected to nally clamped to – 0.6V (one VBE). 1521335fb 8
