REG104GA-3.3/2K5 datasheet by Texas Instruments

REG104GA-3.3/2K5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the REG104GA-3.3/2K5?
  The maximum input voltage is 12V, but it's recommended to keep it below 10V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the output voltage is stable and accurate?
  To ensure a stable output voltage, make sure to decouple the input and output pins with suitable capacitors (e.g., 1uF and 10uF) and keep the layout clean and compact to minimize noise and EMI.
• What is the minimum input capacitance required for stable operation?
  A minimum of 1uF input capacitance is recommended to ensure stable operation, but a larger capacitor (e.g., 10uF) can be used for improved performance.
• Can I use the REG104GA-3.3/2K5 in a high-temperature environment?
  The REG104GA-3.3/2K5 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but thermal considerations should be taken into account, such as providing adequate heat sinking and airflow to prevent overheating.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the REG104GA-3.3/2K5?
  Power dissipation can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout, where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current.
