The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LTC3026 is 36V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for optimal performance and reliability.
To optimize the output voltage of the LTC3026, adjust the feedback resistors (R1 and R2) to set the desired output voltage. The ratio of R1 to R2 determines the output voltage, and the datasheet provides a formula to calculate the output voltage based on the resistor values.
The minimum input capacitance required for the LTC3026 is 10uF, but it's recommended to use a higher value (e.g., 22uF) to ensure stable operation and minimize input voltage ripple.
The LTC3026 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's essential to consider the thermal design and ensure proper heat sinking to prevent overheating, especially in high-temperature environments.
To reduce noise and ripple on the output of the LTC3026, use a low-ESR output capacitor (e.g., ceramic or film capacitor) and consider adding a noise-reducing capacitor (e.g., 10nF) in parallel with the output capacitor.
