LTC1050CN8 datasheet by Linear Technology

LTC1050CN8 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LTC1050CN8?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LTC1050CN8 is 36V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the LTC1050CN8 is in a stable operating condition?
  To ensure stable operation, make sure the input voltage is within the recommended range, the output capacitor is properly sized, and the device is operated within the recommended temperature range.
• What is the purpose of the 'SHDN' pin on the LTC1050CN8?
  The 'SHDN' (shutdown) pin is used to turn the device on or off. When the pin is pulled low, the device is in shutdown mode, reducing the quiescent current to near zero.
• Can I use the LTC1050CN8 in a high-temperature environment?
  The LTC1050CN8 is rated for operation up to 70°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage as the temperature increases to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the LTC1050CN8?
  The output voltage of the LTC1050CN8 is determined by the ratio of the resistors R1 and R2, connected to the 'FB' (feedback) pin. The output voltage can be calculated using the formula: Vout = 2.5V x (1 + R2/R1).
