REG104GA-3 datasheet by Texas Instruments

REG104GA-3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the REG104GA-3?
  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 stable and accurate output voltage, make sure to decouple the input and output pins with suitable capacitors (e.g., 10uF ceramic capacitors), and keep the output voltage within the specified range (2.5V to 5.5V).
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the REG104GA-3 to operate?
  The minimum input voltage required for the REG104GA-3 to operate is 2.7V, but it's recommended to keep it above 3V for reliable operation.
• Can I use the REG104GA-3 in a high-temperature environment?
  The REG104GA-3 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's essential to ensure proper thermal management and heat sinking to prevent overheating, especially in high-power applications.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the REG104GA-3?
  Power dissipation can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout. Make sure to consider the maximum input voltage, output voltage, and output current to ensure the device operates within its thermal limits.
