TLC393CPWRG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for TLC393CPWRG4?
  The recommended operating voltage range for TLC393CPWRG4 is 2.7V to 5.5V. However, it can operate up to 6V with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure the TLC393CPWRG4 is in a stable state during power-up?
  To ensure the TLC393CPWRG4 is in a stable state during power-up, it is recommended to add a power-on reset (POR) circuit or a voltage supervisor to hold the device in reset until the power supply has stabilized.
• What is the maximum current that can be sunk or sourced by the TLC393CPWRG4?
  The TLC393CPWRG4 can sink or source up to 10mA of current per output pin. However, it is recommended to limit the current to 5mA or less to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle the thermal shutdown feature of the TLC393CPWRG4?
  The TLC393CPWRG4 has a built-in thermal shutdown feature that disables the device when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. To handle this feature, ensure proper heat sinking and thermal management, and consider adding a thermal monitoring circuit to detect and respond to thermal shutdown events.
• Can I use the TLC393CPWRG4 in a high-frequency application?
  The TLC393CPWRG4 is designed for low-frequency applications up to 100kHz. While it can operate at higher frequencies, its performance may degrade, and it may not meet the required specifications. For high-frequency applications, consider using a different device or consulting with a Texas Instruments application engineer.
