The recommended operating voltage range for the TIC106B is 4.5V to 18V, although it can operate up to 20V with reduced performance.
To ensure the thermal shutdown feature is triggered correctly, make sure to provide a sufficient heat sink, keep the device within the recommended operating temperature range (−40°C to 125°C), and avoid overheating the device.
The maximum output current capability of the TIC106B is 1A, but it's recommended to limit the output current to 500mA for reliable operation and to prevent overheating.
Choose an input capacitor with a value between 1μF and 10μF, depending on the input voltage ripple and noise requirements. A higher value capacitor can help reduce input voltage ripple, but may increase the startup time.
The EN (enable) pin is used to enable or disable the regulator. When the EN pin is pulled low, the regulator is disabled, and the output voltage is turned off. This pin can be used to implement power-saving modes or to shut down the regulator during fault conditions.
