This document summarizes the modeling parameters and performance of a voltage regulator component. It describes the manufacturer, part number, and key electrical parameters used in the PSpice model. Simulation results show the input-output voltage differential is within 0.035% of measured, and ripple rejection ratio is within 1.808% of measured. The maximum output voltage error shown in simulation is 0.447% compared to measurement.
