Additional conditions for GM2951 series are the FB tied to VTAP and VOUT Tied to SENSE and VSD ≤ 0.8V
Output or Reference voltage temperature coefficients are defined as the worst case voltage change divided
by the total temperature range.

The Regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature using pulse testing with a low duty cycle.
Changes in the output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal
regulation.
The Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential, at which the output voltage drops 100mV
below it nominal value measure at 1V differential. At very low values of programmed output voltage, the
minimum input supply voltage (2V) (2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account.

Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the FB terminal below the nominal
reference voltage measured at VOUT + 1V input. To express these thresholds in terms of an output voltage
change, multiply by the error amplifier gain = VOUT/VREF = (R1 + R2)/R2. For examples, at a programmed
output voltage of 5V, the Error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95mV x 5V/1.235V
= 384mV. Thresholds remain constant as a percent of VOUT as VOUT is varied, with the dropout warning
occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.5% guaranteed.

VSD ≥ 2V, VIN ≤ 30V, VOUT = 0, the FB pin is tied to VTAP.
