(2) The set-point voltage tolerance is affected by the tolerance of RSET. The stated limit is unconditionally met if RSET has a tolerance of 1% with 100ppm/°C or better
temperature stability.
(3) When the set-point voltage is adjusted higher than 3.6 V, a 10-V minimum input voltage is recommended.
(4) A small, low-leakage (<100 nA) MOSFET is recommended to control this pin. The open-circuit voltage is less than 1 Vdc.
(5) This control pin has an internal pull-up to 6.7 V. If left open-circuit, the module operates when input power is applied. A small, low leakage (<100 nA) MOSFET or
open-drain/collector voltage supervisor IC is recommended for control. See the

(8) Low-leakage (<100 nA) MOSFET is recommended for control. For further information, see the related application note. A minimum capacitance of 560-µF is required
at the input for proper operation. For best results, 1000µF is recommended. The capacitance must be rated for a minimum of 300 mArms of ripple current.
(9) A minimum value of output capacitance is required for proper operation. Adding additional capacitance at the load further improves transient response.
(10) This is the calculated maximum. The minimum ESR requirement often results in a lower value. See the
