5V internal LDO when supplied from USB

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: MAX8903A

Hello all!

In the datasheet of the MAX8903, the section concerning the LDO regulator indicates the following:

VL is a 5V linear regulator that powers the MAX8903’s internal circuitry and charges the BST capacitor. VL is used externally to bias the battery’s thermistor. VL takes its input power from USB or DC.

What is the output voltage of this LDO when supplied from a regular 5V USB input?

The electrical characteristics table indicates the output of this LDO to be 4.6...5.4V only under the following conditions: VDC=VUSB=6V (go figure!).

Best regards,

Cristian
