LTC1733EMSE#PBF datasheet by Linear Technology

LTC1733EMSE#PBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LTC1733EMSE can handle?
  The maximum input voltage that the LTC1733EMSE can handle is 18V, but it's recommended to keep it below 15V for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I ensure the LTC1733EMSE is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended layout and component selection guidelines in the datasheet, and add a 10uF ceramic capacitor between the VIN and GND pins.
• What is the minimum ESR requirement for the output capacitor?
  The minimum ESR requirement 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.
• Can I use the LTC1733EMSE in a high-temperature environment?
  The LTC1733EMSE is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage at high temperatures to ensure reliability.
• How do I synchronize the switching frequency of multiple LTC1733EMSE devices?
  To synchronize the switching frequency, connect the SYNC pin of each device to a common clock signal, and ensure that the clock frequency is within the recommended range of 200kHz to 400kHz.
