LT1963ES8 datasheet by Linear Technology

LT1963ES8 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT1963ES8?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT1963ES8 is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and to prevent damage to the device.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage in my design?
  To ensure the stability of the output voltage, make sure to follow the recommended layout and component selection guidelines in the datasheet, including the use of a 10uF ceramic capacitor at the output and a 1uF ceramic capacitor at the input.
• What is the minimum load current required for the LT1963ES8 to maintain regulation?
  The LT1963ES8 can maintain regulation down to a minimum load current of 1mA, but it's recommended to have a minimum load current of 10mA to ensure optimal performance and stability.
• Can I use the LT1963ES8 in a high-temperature environment?
  The LT1963ES8 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage at high temperatures to prevent thermal shutdown and ensure reliable operation.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the LT1963ES8 in my design?
  The power dissipation of the LT1963ES8 can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout, where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current.
