LT1513CR datasheet by Linear Technology

LT1513CR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LT1513CR can handle?
  The LT1513CR can handle input voltages up to 18V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 15V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure stability in the output voltage of the LT1513CR?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Also, keep the output voltage within the recommended range of 1.5V to 15V.
• What is the maximum output current that the LT1513CR can provide?
  The LT1513CR can provide up to 3A of output current, but it's recommended to keep the output current below 2.5A for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I reduce the noise and ripple in the output voltage of the LT1513CR?
  To reduce noise and ripple, use a low-ESR output capacitor, and add a 10nF to 100nF ceramic capacitor in parallel with the output capacitor. Also, keep the input voltage as smooth as possible and use a good quality input capacitor.
• Can I use the LT1513CR in a high-temperature environment?
  The LT1513CR is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to keep the junction temperature below 115°C for optimal performance and reliability. Make sure to provide good heat sinking and airflow to prevent overheating.
