LT1074CY datasheet by Linear Technology

LT1074CY Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT1074CY?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT1074CY is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure stability in the LT1074CY regulator?
  To ensure stability in the LT1074CY regulator, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Also, keep the input and output capacitors close to the regulator to minimize parasitic inductance.
• What is the minimum load current required for the LT1074CY to regulate properly?
  The LT1074CY can regulate properly with a minimum load current of 1mA, but it's recommended to have a minimum load current of 10mA to ensure optimal performance and stability.
• Can I use the LT1074CY in a high-temperature environment?
  The LT1074CY is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage at high temperatures to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the LT1074CY?
  The power dissipation of the LT1074CY 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.
