LM5146-Q1: Internal regulator stability

Part Number: LM5146-Q1

Hi,

In the datasheet of LM5146-Q1, there is a line mentioning "Connect a ceramic decoupling capacitor between 1 μF and 5 μF from VCC to AGND for stability".

What exactly does the stability of the LDO mean? 

I understand that they serve the purpose of high frequency currents thereby decoupling the supply from those transients. What is the stability concern?

Can you please explain?

Regards,

Siri.
