LM20133MHE/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM20133MHE/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LM20133MHE/NOPB can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 42V, but it's recommended to keep it below 40V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and keep the output voltage within the recommended range of 1.2V to 15V.
• What is the maximum output current that the LM20133MHE/NOPB can provide?
  The maximum output current is 3A, but it's recommended to keep it below 2.5A for reliable operation and to prevent overheating.
• How do I choose the right inductor value for my application?
  Choose an inductor with a value between 1uH and 10uH, and a current rating that exceeds the maximum output current. A higher inductance value can reduce ripple current, but may increase the physical size of the inductor.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the LM20133MHE/NOPB?
  The thermal shutdown temperature is typically around 150°C, but it can vary depending on the specific device and operating conditions.
