Bypass (BYP)
The capacitor connected from BYP to OUT filters the
noise of the reference, feedback resistors, and regula-
tor input stage and provides a high-speed feedback
path for improved transient response. A 0.01µF capaci-
tor rolls off input noise at approximately 32Hz.
The slew rate of the output voltage during startup is
also determined by the BYP capacitor. A 0.01µF
capacitor sets the slew rate to 5V / ms. This startup rate
results in a 50mA slew current drawn from the input at
startup to charge the 10µF output capacitance.
