The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT3973EMSE-5#PBF is 40V, but it's recommended to keep it below 36V for reliable operation.
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 maximum output current that the LT3973EMSE-5#PBF can deliver is 3A, but it's recommended to keep it below 2.5A for reliable operation and to prevent overheating.
The output voltage of the LT3973EMSE-5#PBF can be calculated using the formula: Vout = (R1/R2) * (Vref), where R1 and R2 are the resistors connected to the FB pin, and Vref is the internal reference voltage (1.21V).
The thermal shutdown temperature of the LT3973EMSE-5#PBF is 150°C, and it will automatically shut down if the junction temperature exceeds this value.
