TL598CD datasheet by Texas Instruments

TL598CD Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the TL598CD?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the TL598CD is 4.5V to 16V, although it can operate up to 18V with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure the TL598CD is properly biased for optimal performance?
  To ensure proper biasing, connect the midpoint of the input voltage divider to the VCC/2 pin, and decouple the power supply with a 0.1uF capacitor.
• What is the maximum output current of the TL598CD?
  The maximum output current of the TL598CD is 150mA per channel, but it's recommended to limit the current to 100mA per channel for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I minimize noise and oscillations in the TL598CD output?
  To minimize noise and oscillations, use a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor between the output and ground, and ensure the output is properly terminated with a 75Ω resistor.
• Can I use the TL598CD as a line driver for long cables?
  Yes, the TL598CD can be used as a line driver for long cables, but it's essential to use a 75Ω termination resistor at the receiving end to minimize reflections and ensure signal integrity.
