The areas under the curves represent conditions that may cause the device to oscillate. For VKA = 2V and 3V
curves, R2 and VBAT were adjusted to establish the initial VKA and IK conditions with CL = 0. VBAT and CL then
were adjusted to determine the ranges of stability. As the graph suggested, AP432C is unconditional stable
with IK from 0 to 100mA and with CL from 0.001uF to 1uF.
