LM2936QHBMA-5.0/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM2936QHBMA-5.0/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LM2936QHBMA-5.0/NOPB can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 26V, but it's recommended to keep it below 24V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR of 0.1-10 ohms, and keep the input capacitance as close to the regulator as possible.
• What is the dropout voltage of the LM2936QHBMA-5.0/NOPB?
  The dropout voltage is typically around 1.5V, but it can be as low as 1.2V at low currents.
• Can I use the LM2936QHBMA-5.0/NOPB in a high-temperature environment?
  Yes, the device is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the output current may need to be derated at higher temperatures to prevent overheating.
• How do I protect the LM2936QHBMA-5.0/NOPB from input voltage transients?
  Use a TVS diode or a transient voltage suppressor in parallel with the input capacitor to protect the regulator from voltage spikes and transients.
