The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT1076CQ-5 is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and reliability.
To ensure stability in the output voltage, it's essential to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Additionally, the output capacitor should be placed as close to the output pin as possible.
The maximum output current that the LT1076CQ-5 can deliver is 5A, but it's recommended to keep it below 3A for optimal performance and reliability.
To reduce the noise and ripple in the output voltage, it's recommended to use a low-ESR output capacitor, and to add a 10nF to 100nF ceramic capacitor in parallel with the output capacitor. Additionally, the input voltage should be well-filtered and regulated.
The thermal shutdown temperature of the LT1076CQ-5 is 150°C. When the junction temperature exceeds this value, the device will shut down to prevent damage.
