LM2696MXAX/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM2696MXAX/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended input capacitor value for the LM2696?
  The recommended input capacitor value is 10uF to 22uF, depending on the input voltage and output current requirements.
• How do I ensure stability in the LM2696 voltage regulator?
  To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitor of 10uF, and ensure that the output capacitor's ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) is less than 1 ohm.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the LM2696 can handle?
  The maximum input voltage that the LM2696 can handle is 15V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 12V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the LM2696 in a high-temperature environment?
  The LM2696 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage at high temperatures to ensure reliability.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the LM2696?
  The output voltage of the LM2696 is set by the resistive divider network connected to the FB pin. Use the formula: Vout = 1.25V x (R1 + R2) / R2, where R1 and R2 are the resistors in the divider network.
