LM2588S-3.3/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM2588S-3.3/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LM2588S-3.3/NOPB?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LM2588S-3.3/NOPB is 15V. Exceeding this voltage may damage the device.
• Can I use the LM2588S-3.3/NOPB in a high-temperature environment?
  The LM2588S-3.3/NOPB is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, the device's performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and voltage according to the thermal derating curve in the datasheet.
• How do I ensure the stability of the LM2588S-3.3/NOPB output voltage?
  To ensure the stability of the LM2588S-3.3/NOPB output voltage, it's recommended to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR of 1Ω or less. Additionally, the input capacitance should be at least 1uF with an ESR of 1Ω or less.
• Can I use the LM2588S-3.3/NOPB in a parallel configuration to increase the output current?
  Yes, the LM2588S-3.3/NOPB can be used in a parallel configuration to increase the output current. However, it's recommended to use a current-sharing scheme to ensure equal current distribution among the devices. Additionally, the output capacitance should be increased accordingly to maintain stability.
• What is the typical dropout voltage of the LM2588S-3.3/NOPB?
  The typical dropout voltage of the LM2588S-3.3/NOPB is around 1.5V. This means that the input voltage should be at least 1.5V higher than the output voltage to ensure proper regulation.
