The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the REG104FA-2.5/500 is 12V, although it's recommended to keep it below 10V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
To ensure the output voltage is stable and accurate, make sure to use a high-quality input capacitor with a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and a sufficient capacitance value (at least 10uF). Also, keep the output capacitor value within the recommended range (10uF to 100uF) and ensure it's a low-ESR type.
The minimum input voltage required for the REG104FA-2.5/500 to operate is 2.7V, although it's recommended to keep it above 3V for optimal performance.
The REG104FA-2.5/500 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's essential to ensure proper heat sinking and thermal management to prevent overheating. Also, be aware that the output voltage accuracy and stability may degrade at high temperatures.
To calculate the power dissipation of the REG104FA-2.5/500, use the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout, where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current. Make sure to consider the maximum power dissipation rating of 1.5W and take necessary precautions to prevent overheating.
