to improve the ripple rejection of about 15 dB

An 1

µF tantalium (or 25µFAluminium electrolitic)

capacitor on the output to improve transient

response.

In additional to external capacitors, it is good

practice to add protection diodes, as shown in

fig.5.

D1 protect the device against input short circuit,

while D2 protect against output short circuit for

capacitance discharging.
