GROUND CURRENT CONSUMPTION 
Ground current measurements can determine how much current 
the regulator’s internal circuits consume while the circuits 
perform the regulation function. To be efficient, the regulator 
needs to consume as little current as possible. Typically, the regu-
lator uses the maximum current when supplying its largest load 
level (150 mA). Figure 13 shows the typical ground current 
consumption for various load levels at an input voltage of 2.3 V. 
When the device is disabled (EN = GND), the ground current 
drops to less than 1 μA.
