REG104GA-2.5 datasheet by Texas Instruments

REG104GA-2.5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the REG104GA-2.5?
  The maximum input voltage is 12V, but it's recommended to keep it below 10V to ensure reliable operation and minimize power dissipation.
• How do I ensure the output voltage is stable and accurate?
  To ensure a stable output voltage, make sure to use a suitable output capacitor (e.g., 10uF) and a minimum load of 1mA. Also, keep the input voltage ripple below 100mV to minimize output voltage variation.
• What is the maximum output current that the REG104GA-2.5 can deliver?
  The maximum output current is 150mA, but it's recommended to keep it below 100mA for reliable operation and to minimize thermal issues.
• How do I handle thermal considerations for the REG104GA-2.5?
  Ensure good thermal conductivity by using a heat sink or a thermal pad, and keep the device away from heat sources. Also, reduce the input voltage and output current to minimize power dissipation.
• Can I use the REG104GA-2.5 in a high-temperature environment?
  The device is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade above 85°C. Consider using a heat sink or thermal management techniques to keep the device within a safe operating temperature range.
