L292 datasheet by STMicroelectronics

L292 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the L292?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the L292 is 35V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability of the output voltage, it's recommended to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of less than 5 ohms.
• What is the maximum output current that the L292 can deliver?
  The maximum output current that the L292 can deliver is 1A, but it's recommended to keep it below 0.8A for reliable operation.
• How do I protect the L292 from overheating?
  To protect the L292 from overheating, it's recommended to provide adequate heat sinking, such as a copper plane or a heat sink, and to keep the junction temperature below 150°C.
• Can I use the L292 in a high-temperature environment?
  Yes, the L292 can operate in a high-temperature environment, but the maximum junction temperature should not exceed 150°C. Derating of the output current may be necessary at high temperatures.
