VOUT

1) Set the VOUT according to the following equation:

VOUT = VREF1 + R1  + IREFR1

 R2 

2) Choose the value of R as follows:

• The maximum limit for R should be such that the cathode current, IZ is greater than the minimum operating current (80µA) at VIN(min).

• The minimum limit for R should b such that IZ does not exceed 100mA under all load conditions, and the instantaneous turn-on value for IZ does not exceed

150mA. Both of the following conditions must be met:

Rmin ≥ VIN(max) (to limit instantane ous turn - on IZ)

150mA

Rmin ≥ VIN(max) - VOUT (to limit IZ under normal operating conditions )

IOUT(min) + 100mA
