The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LM2736XMKX/NOPB is 42V, but it's recommended to operate within the specified input voltage range of 6.5V to 36V for optimal performance.
To ensure the stability of the output voltage, it's essential to use the recommended output capacitor value and type, and to follow the layout guidelines provided in the datasheet. Additionally, the input capacitor should be placed close to the input pin to minimize noise and ensure stability.
The maximum output current that the LM2736XMKX/NOPB can provide is 3A, but it's recommended to operate within the specified output current range of 0.5A to 2.5A for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
The output voltage of the LM2736XMKX/NOPB can be calculated using the formula: Vout = (R1 / R2) * (1 + R2 / R1) * Vref, where R1 and R2 are the resistors used in the feedback network, and Vref is the internal reference voltage (1.25V).
The EN (enable) pin on the LM2736XMKX/NOPB is used to enable or disable the regulator. When the EN pin is pulled high, the regulator is enabled, and when it's pulled low, the regulator is disabled. This pin can be used to implement power sequencing or to turn off the regulator when not in use.
