The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT3518HFE#PBF is 36V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for optimal performance and reliability.
To ensure the stability of the output voltage, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Also, ensure that the input voltage is within the recommended range and the output current is within the specified limits.
The LT3518HFE#PBF is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage as the temperature increases to ensure reliable operation. Consult the datasheet for more information on thermal derating.
The power dissipation of the LT3518HFE#PBF 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. Consult the datasheet for more information on power dissipation.
Yes, the LT3518HFE#PBF can be used in a parallel configuration to increase the output current, but it's recommended to use a minimum of 10% tolerance resistors to ensure current sharing between the devices. Consult the datasheet for more information on parallel operation.
