DRV101F/500 datasheet by Texas Instruments

DRV101F/500 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum voltage that can be applied to the input pins?
  The maximum voltage that can be applied to the input pins is 6V, exceeding which may cause damage to the device.
• How do I ensure the device is in a safe operating area (SOA) during startup?
  To ensure the device is in a safe operating area during startup, make sure the input voltage is within the recommended range, and the output current is limited to the recommended maximum value.
• What is the recommended PCB layout for the DRV101F/500 to minimize EMI?
  To minimize EMI, it is recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, keep the high-current paths short and wide, and use a common mode choke or ferrite bead on the input lines.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the DRV101F/500?
  The power dissipation of the DRV101F/500 can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin * Iin) + (Vout * Iout), where Vin is the input voltage, Iin is the input current, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for the DRV101F/500?
  The recommended input capacitor value is 10uF to 22uF, and the type should be a low-ESR ceramic or film capacitor, such as X5R or X7R.
