The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT1963AEQ-2.5 is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
To ensure the output voltage is accurate and stable, make sure to use a high-quality output capacitor with low ESR, and follow the recommended PCB layout and thermal management guidelines.
The LT1963AEQ-2.5 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to use a heat sink and follow proper thermal management techniques to keep the junction temperature below 125°C.
The power dissipation of the LT1963AEQ-2.5 can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout + (Vin x Iq), where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, Iout is the output current, and Iq is the quiescent current.
The LT1963AEQ-2.5 is capable of delivering up to 3A of output current, but it's not recommended for high-current applications above 2A due to thermal limitations. For high-current applications, consider using a more suitable regulator or a switching converter.
