LT3462AES6 datasheet by Linear Technology

LT3462AES6 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT3462AES6?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT3462AES6 is 42V, but it's recommended to keep it below 36V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the LT3462AES6 is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended layout and component placement guidelines, use a low-ESR output capacitor, and add a small ceramic capacitor (e.g., 10nF) between the VIN and GND pins to filter out high-frequency noise.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LT3462AES6 to operate?
  The minimum input voltage required for the LT3462AES6 to operate is 3.5V, but it's recommended to keep it above 4V for reliable startup and operation.
• Can I use the LT3462AES6 in a high-temperature environment?
  The LT3462AES6 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage as temperature increases to ensure reliable operation. Consult the datasheet for thermal derating guidelines.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the LT3462AES6?
  The output voltage of the LT3462AES6 can be calculated using the formula: VOUT = 0.8V x (1 + R1/R2), where R1 and R2 are the resistors connected to the FB pin. Consult the datasheet for more information on output voltage calculation.
