TL3116CDR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TL3116CDR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the TL3116CDR?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the TL3116CDR is 4.5V to 16V, although it can operate up to 18V with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure stability in the TL3116CDR voltage regulator?
  To ensure stability, a minimum output capacitance of 1uF is recommended, and the output capacitor should be located close to the output pin. Additionally, a 10nF to 100nF capacitor can be added between the adjust pin and ground to improve stability.
• What is the maximum output current that the TL3116CDR can provide?
  The maximum output current that the TL3116CDR can provide is 1.5A, although this can be limited by the input voltage, output voltage, and thermal considerations.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the TL3116CDR?
  The output voltage of the TL3116CDR can be adjusted by connecting a resistive divider between the output pin and the adjust pin, with the adjust pin connected to ground through a resistor. The output voltage is determined by the ratio of the resistors and the internal reference voltage.
• Is the TL3116CDR suitable for high-temperature applications?
  The TL3116CDR is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and consider thermal management for high-temperature applications.
