LT1170CQ#TRPBF datasheet by Linear Technology

LT1170CQ#TRPBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LT1170CQ can handle?
  The LT1170CQ can handle input voltages up to 60V, but it's recommended to keep it below 50V for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Also, use a low-ESR capacitor for the input filter capacitor (Cin).
• What is the maximum output current that the LT1170CQ can provide?
  The LT1170CQ can provide up to 3A of output current, but it's recommended to keep it below 2.5A for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I reduce the noise and ripple on the output voltage?
  To reduce noise and ripple, use a low-ESR output capacitor (Cout) and add a noise-reducing capacitor (Cnr) between the output and ground. Also, keep the input and output capacitors close to the IC.
• What is the purpose of the EN (enable) pin?
  The EN pin is used to enable or disable the regulator. When EN is high, the regulator is enabled, and when EN is low, the regulator is disabled and the output is turned off.
