LM1085IT-12/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM1085IT-12/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LM1085IT-12/NOPB?
  The maximum input voltage is 25V, but it's recommended to keep it below 20V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the output voltage is stable and accurate?
  Use a 10uF or larger output capacitor with a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) to ensure stability and accuracy.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM1085IT-12/NOPB to function properly?
  The minimum input voltage is 14.5V, but it's recommended to keep it above 15V for reliable operation.
• Can I use the LM1085IT-12/NOPB in a high-temperature environment?
  Yes, but the device is rated for operation up to 125°C. Be sure to derate the output current and consider thermal management for high-temperature applications.
• How do I protect the LM1085IT-12/NOPB from input voltage transients?
  Use a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode or a voltage clamp to protect the device from input voltage transients and spikes.
