LP2980IM5-2.8/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LP2980IM5-2.8/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LP2980IM5-2.8/NOPB?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LP2980IM5-2.8/NOPB is 12V, but it's recommended to keep it below 10V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the LP2980IM5-2.8/NOPB is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 2.2uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Also, keep the input and output capacitors close to the device and use a low-ESR capacitor for the output.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LP2980IM5-2.8/NOPB to operate?
  The minimum input voltage required for the LP2980IM5-2.8/NOPB to operate is 2.7V, but it's recommended to keep it above 3V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the LP2980IM5-2.8/NOPB in a high-temperature environment?
  The LP2980IM5-2.8/NOPB is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage at high temperatures to prevent overheating and ensure reliability.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the LP2980IM5-2.8/NOPB?
  The power dissipation of the LP2980IM5-2.8/NOPB can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout, where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current.
