LP2985-18DBVRG4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

LP2985-18DBVRG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LP2985-18DBVRG4?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LP2985-18DBVRG4 is 12V, but it's recommended to keep it below 10V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the LP2985-18DBVRG4 is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended layout and component placement guidelines, use a sufficient output capacitor (at least 10uF), and add a 10nF-100nF capacitor between the VIN and GND pins to filter out noise.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LP2985-18DBVRG4 to operate?
  The minimum input voltage required for the LP2985-18DBVRG4 to operate is 2.7V, but it's recommended to keep it above 3V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the LP2985-18DBVRG4 in a high-temperature environment?
  The LP2985-18DBVRG4 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 output voltage of the LP2985-18DBVRG4?
  The output voltage of the LP2985-18DBVRG4 is fixed at 1.8V, and it's not adjustable. The device is designed to provide a stable 1.8V output voltage regardless of the input voltage.
