L4805CV datasheet by STMicroelectronics

L4805CV Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the L4805CV?
  The L4805CV can operate from -40°C to 125°C, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
• How do I ensure the L4805CV is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended PCB layout guidelines, use a suitable output capacitor, and add a compensation network if necessary.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the L4805CV to function properly?
  The L4805CV can operate with an input voltage as low as 3.5V, but it's recommended to use a minimum of 4.5V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the L4805CV in a high-current application?
  While the L4805CV can handle up to 1.5A of output current, it's not recommended for high-current applications. Consider using a more suitable regulator like the L4940V or L4941V for higher current requirements.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the L4805CV?
  The output voltage of the L4805CV can be adjusted by using a resistive divider network between the output and the adjust pin. Consult the datasheet for specific calculations and examples.
