LM3466MRX/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM3466MRX/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LM3466MRX/NOPB can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 42V, but it's recommended to keep it below 40V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the LM3466MRX/NOPB operates within its thermal limits?
  Make sure to provide adequate heat sinking, keep the device away from heat sources, and ensure good airflow around the device. Also, monitor the junction temperature (TJ) and adjust the design accordingly.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for the LM3466MRX/NOPB?
  A 10uF to 22uF ceramic or electrolytic capacitor with a voltage rating of 50V or higher is recommended. The capacitor should be placed as close to the VIN pin as possible.
• How do I optimize the output voltage ripple of the LM3466MRX/NOPB?
  Use a low-ESR output capacitor (e.g., ceramic or polymer capacitors), minimize the output capacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR), and ensure the output capacitor is properly decoupled from the output voltage.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM3466MRX/NOPB to operate?
  The minimum input voltage is 7V, but it's recommended to keep it above 8V for reliable operation.
