1. Parameter is tested as part of design characterization or after design changes. Thereafter, parameter shall be guaranteed to the limits
specified.
2. Parameter verified during line and load regulation tests.
3. Guaranteed for a D.C. to 20 MHz bandwidth. Tested using a 20 kHz to 10 MHz bandwidth..
4. Capacitive load may be any value from 0 to the maximum limit without compromising dc performance. A capacitive load in excess of
the maximum limit may cause erratic behavior during turn-on.
5. Overload power dissipation is defined as the device power dissipation with the load set such that VOUT = 90% of nominal.
6. Load step transition time  1.0 s/A for 3.3V & 2.5V models and  0.1 s/A for 1.0V, 1.2V, 1.5V & 1.8V models..
7. Recovery time is measured from the initiation of the transient to where VOUT has returned to within ±1% of its steady state value.
8. Line step transition time 10 s.
9. Turn-on delay time from either a step application of input power or a logic low to a logic high transition on the Enable pin (pin 10) to the
