TL497ACDR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TL497ACDR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the TL497ACDR can handle?
  The TL497ACDR can handle input voltages up to 40V, but it's recommended to keep it below 35V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the TL497ACDR is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a minimum ESR of 0.1 ohms. Also, keep the input and output capacitors close to the IC and use a good quality PCB layout.
• What is the maximum output current that the TL497ACDR can provide?
  The TL497ACDR can provide up to 1A of output current, but it's recommended to keep it below 0.8A for reliable operation and to prevent overheating.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the TL497ACDR?
  The output voltage of the TL497ACDR can be adjusted by using a resistive divider network between the output pin and the ground pin. The ratio of the resistors determines the output voltage.
• What is the purpose of the enable pin on the TL497ACDR?
  The enable pin is used to turn the regulator on or off. When the enable pin is high, the regulator is enabled, and when it's low, the regulator is disabled.
