TLC372IDRG4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

TLC372IDRG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for TLC372IDRG4?
  The recommended operating voltage range for TLC372IDRG4 is 2.7V to 5.5V. However, it can operate down to 2.3V with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure the TLC372IDRG4 is in a low-power state during shutdown?
  To ensure the TLC372IDRG4 is in a low-power state during shutdown, make sure the SHDN pin is pulled low and the input voltage is below 1.5V. This will put the device in a low-power shutdown mode, reducing quiescent current to less than 1μA.
• What is the maximum output current of the TLC372IDRG4?
  The maximum output current of the TLC372IDRG4 is 20mA per channel. However, it's recommended to limit the output current to 10mA per channel to ensure reliable operation and minimize power consumption.
• How do I configure the TLC372IDRG4 for a specific gain setting?
  The TLC372IDRG4 has a fixed gain of 1, 2, or 4, which is set by the GAIN pin. Connect the GAIN pin to VCC, GND, or leave it open to select the desired gain setting. Refer to the datasheet for the specific gain settings and pin configurations.
• What is the purpose of the REF pin on the TLC372IDRG4?
  The REF pin on the TLC372IDRG4 is an internal reference voltage output that can be used as a voltage reference for other circuits. It's typically connected to a capacitor to filter out noise and provide a stable reference voltage.
