(TJ = 0 to150 °C, VI - VO = 5 V, IO = 2.5 A. Although power dissipation is internally limited, these specifications apply to

power dissipation up to 50 W, unless otherwise specified)

Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are taken into

account separately by thermal rejection.
