LT1013DID datasheet by Texas Instruments

LT1013DID Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power dissipation of the LT1013DID?
  The maximum power dissipation of the LT1013DID is 1.4W, which is calculated based on the maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 150°C and the thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125°C/W.
• How do I ensure stability when using the LT1013DID as a voltage regulator?
  To ensure stability, it's essential to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 5 ohms. Additionally, the input capacitor should be at least 1uF with an ESR of 1 ohm or less.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LT1013DID to operate?
  The minimum input voltage required for the LT1013DID to operate is 3.5V, which is the minimum voltage required to maintain regulation.
• Can I use the LT1013DID as a current source?
  Yes, the LT1013DID can be used as a current source by connecting a resistor (Rlim) between the output and the adjust pin. The current limit is then determined by the value of Rlim.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the LT1013DID?
  The output voltage of the LT1013DID can be adjusted by connecting a resistor divider network between the output and the adjust pin. The output voltage is determined by the ratio of the resistors in the divider network.
