i out . for load current less than 0.5a, see graph. 4. ?minimum input voltage? is limited by base emitter voltage drive of the power transistor section, not saturation as measured in note 3. for output voltages below 4v, ?minimum input voltage? specification may limit dropout voltage before transistor saturation limitati on. 5. supply current is measured on the ground pin, and does not include load current, r lim , or output divider current. 6. the 25w power level is guaranteed for an input-output voltage of 8.3v to 17v. at lower voltages the 2.7a limit applies, and at higher voltages the internal power limiting may restrict regulator power below 25w. see graphs. 7. line and load regulation are measured on a pulse basis with a pulse width of ?2ms, to minimize heating. dc regulation will b e affected by thermal regulation and temperature coefficient of the reference. 8. guaranteed by design and correlation to other tests, but not tested. 9. t jmin = ?
