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.
To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended layout and component selection guidelines in the datasheet, and add a 10nF ceramic capacitor between the VCC and GND pins.
The minimum ESR requirement for the output capacitor is 0.05Ω, but it's recommended to use a capacitor with an ESR of 0.01Ω or less for optimal performance.
The LTC1733EMSE is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and voltage at high temperatures to ensure reliability and prevent overheating.
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.
