LM285BXM-1.2/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM285BXM-1.2/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LM285BXM-1.2/NOPB?
  The maximum input voltage is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, a minimum output capacitance of 10uF is recommended, and the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) should be less than 5 ohms.
• What is the maximum output current that the LM285BXM-1.2/NOPB can provide?
  The maximum output current is 150mA, but it's recommended to keep it below 100mA for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I protect the LM285BXM-1.2/NOPB from overheating?
  To prevent overheating, ensure good airflow around the device, use a heat sink if necessary, and keep the input voltage and output current within the recommended ranges.
• Can I use the LM285BXM-1.2/NOPB in a high-temperature environment?
  The LM285BXM-1.2/NOPB is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the output voltage and current may degrade at high temperatures. Ensure proper heat sinking and derate the output current accordingly.
