L78L06ACD13TR datasheet by STMicroelectronics

L78L06ACD13TR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the L78L06ACD13TR?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the L78L06ACD13TR is 35V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the L78L06ACD13TR is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, a minimum output capacitance of 2.2uF is recommended, and the input capacitor should be at least 1uF. Additionally, keep the input and output capacitors close to the regulator.
• What is the dropout voltage of the L78L06ACD13TR?
  The dropout voltage of the L78L06ACD13TR is typically around 1.5V to 2V, depending on the output current. This means the input voltage should be at least 1.5V to 2V higher than the output voltage.
• Can I use the L78L06ACD13TR in a high-temperature environment?
  The L78L06ACD13TR is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and ensure good heat sinking to maintain reliability.
• How do I protect the L78L06ACD13TR from input voltage surges?
  To protect the L78L06ACD13TR from input voltage surges, consider adding a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode or a voltage clamp circuit at the input. This will help absorb or clamp voltage spikes and prevent damage to the regulator.
