MP2212DN-LF-Z datasheet by Monolithic Power Systems

MP2212DN-LF-Z Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the MP2212DN-LF-Z?
  The maximum input voltage is 18V, but it's recommended to keep it below 15V for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Also, keep the output voltage within the recommended range of 0.8V to 5.5V.
• What is the maximum output current that the MP2212DN-LF-Z can deliver?
  The maximum output current is 2A, but it's recommended to keep it below 1.5A for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I handle thermal management for the MP2212DN-LF-Z?
  Make sure to provide adequate heat sinking and airflow to keep the junction temperature below 125°C. A thermal pad is recommended to improve heat dissipation.
• What is the purpose of the EN pin, and how do I use it?
  The EN (enable) pin is used to turn the regulator on or off. Connect it to VIN to enable the regulator, or to GND to disable it. You can also use it to implement power sequencing or to turn off the regulator during shutdown.
