L6374FP datasheet by STMicroelectronics

L6374FP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the L6374FP?
  The L6374FP can operate from -40°C to 150°C, but the maximum junction temperature (TJ) should not exceed 150°C.
• How do I ensure the L6374FP is properly powered on?
  The L6374FP requires a minimum of 2.5V on the VCC pin to ensure proper operation. Also, make sure to decouple the VCC pin with a 10nF capacitor to ground.
• What is the purpose of the EN pin, and how do I use it?
  The EN (enable) pin is used to enable or disable the device. When EN is high, the device is enabled, and when EN is low, the device is disabled. Connect EN to VCC to enable the device or to GND to disable it.
• How do I choose the right inductor value for my application?
  The inductor value depends on the input voltage, output voltage, and switching frequency. A general rule of thumb is to choose an inductor with a value between 1.5μH to 3.3μH for most applications. Consult the datasheet and application notes for more information.
• What is the maximum output current capability of the L6374FP?
  The L6374FP can deliver up to 2A of output current, but this may vary depending on the input voltage, output voltage, and thermal conditions.
