Note 1: Output or reference voltage temperature coefcients dened as the worst case voltage change divided
by the total temperature range.
Note 2: Unless otherwise specied all limits are guaranteed for Tj = 25°C, VIN = 6V, IL = 1mA and CL = 2.2µF.
Note 3: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle.
Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specication for thermal regulation.
Note 4: Line regulation for the SPX1521 is tested at 25°C for IL = 1 mA. For TJ = 125°C, line regulation is
guaranteed by design.
Note 5: Dropout voltage is dened as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV
below its nominal value measured at 1V differential.
Shutdown Input Voltage...................................................-0.6V to +6.5V
ESD Rating ................................................................................2kV Min
