Bypassing the LDO to avoid the voltage drop with low Vcc
If V
maximum LDO output current is about 100mA and so the output voltage drop is 100mV, to
avoid this the LDO can be bypassed.
Internal and external references
It is possible to set the internal/external reference and the switching frequency by setting the
proper voltage at the EAREF pin. The maximum value of the external reference depends on the
V
maximum external reference is 2.5V (typ.).

Providing an external reference from 0V to 450mV the output voltage will be regulated but
some restrictions must be considered:

To set the resistor divider it must be considered that a 100K pull-down resistor is integrated into
