LP2966IMM-1833/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LP2966IMM-1833/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LP2966IMM-1833/NOPB?
  The maximum input voltage is 6.5V, but it's recommended to keep it below 6V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the LP2966IMM-1833/NOPB is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and keep the output voltage within the recommended range. Also, avoid using long output cables and keep the input and output decoupling capacitors close to the device.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LP2966IMM-1833/NOPB to operate?
  The minimum input voltage required is 2.7V, but it's recommended to keep it above 3V for reliable operation.
• Can I use the LP2966IMM-1833/NOPB in a high-temperature environment?
  The LP2966IMM-1833/NOPB is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage as the temperature increases to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the LP2966IMM-1833/NOPB?
  The output voltage can be calculated using the formula: Vout = 1.1833 * (1 + R1/R2), where R1 and R2 are the resistors used in the feedback network.
