The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LTC1174HVCS8-5 is 60V, but it's recommended to keep it below 50V for reliable operation.
To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended layout and component selection guidelines in the datasheet, and add a 10nF to 100nF capacitor between the VCC and GND pins to filter out noise.
The minimum ESR required for the output capacitor is 0.05 ohms, but it's recommended to use a capacitor with an ESR of 0.01 ohms or less for optimal performance.
The LTC1174HVCS8-5 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and voltage at high temperatures to ensure reliable operation.
The output voltage ripple can be calculated using the formula: ΔVout = (Iout * ESR) / (fsw * Cout), where Iout is the output current, ESR is the output capacitor's ESR, fsw is the switching frequency, and Cout is the output capacitance.
