LTC3026EMSE datasheet by Linear Technology

LTC3026EMSE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LTC3026EMSE?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LTC3026EMSE is 36V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• How do I optimize the output voltage ripple of the LTC3026EMSE?
  To optimize the output voltage ripple, ensure that the output capacitor is properly sized and placed close to the output pins. Additionally, using a low-ESR capacitor and adding a small ceramic capacitor in parallel can help reduce the ripple.
• Can I use the LTC3026EMSE in a high-temperature environment?
  The LTC3026EMSE is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the maximum junction temperature (TJ) should not exceed 150°C. Ensure proper thermal design and heat sinking to maintain a safe operating temperature.
• How do I select the correct inductor for the LTC3026EMSE?
  Choose an inductor with a high saturation current rating, low DC resistance, and a suitable inductance value based on the switching frequency and output current requirements. The datasheet provides a recommended inductor selection guide.
• What is the purpose of the SYNC pin on the LTC3026EMSE?
  The SYNC pin allows synchronization of the internal oscillator with an external clock signal, enabling multiple LTC3026EMSE devices to operate in phase with each other or with an external clock source.
