LT1116CS8#PBF datasheet by Linear Technology

LT1116CS8#PBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LT1116CS8#PBF can handle?
  The maximum input voltage that the LT1116CS8#PBF can handle is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage in my design?
  To ensure the stability of the output voltage, make sure to use a minimum of 10uF output capacitance, and keep the output capacitor's ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) below 1 ohm. Also, ensure that the input capacitor is at least 1uF with an ESR below 5 ohms.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LT1116CS8#PBF to function properly?
  The minimum input voltage required for the LT1116CS8#PBF to function properly is 7V, but it's recommended to keep it above 8V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the LT1116CS8#PBF in a high-temperature environment?
  The LT1116CS8#PBF is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage as the temperature increases to ensure reliability and prevent thermal shutdown.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the LT1116CS8#PBF in my design?
  To calculate the power dissipation of the LT1116CS8#PBF, use the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout, where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current.
