Dropout and PSRR — the real margins
At 3 A the maximum dropout is 0.6 V. The PSRR runs 73 dB to 57 dB at 120 Hz.
Quiescent current and supply budget
The quiescent current is 10 mA typical, with a maximum supply current of 10 mA.
Package and mounting — thermal path
The DDPAK/TO-263-5 package has a large exposed tab on the bottom. For 3 A operation, the tab must be soldered to a copper plane.
