TPS2010ADR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS2010ADR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS2010ADR?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS2010ADR is 12V, but it's recommended to keep it below 10V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the TPS2010ADR switches between high and low states quickly?
  To ensure fast switching, make sure to use a low-ESR capacitor (less than 1 ohm) and keep the input voltage stable. Also, minimize the PCB trace inductance and use a low-inductance layout.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the TPS2010ADR to operate?
  The minimum input voltage required for the TPS2010ADR to operate is 2.7V, but it's recommended to use a minimum of 3V for reliable operation.
• Can I use the TPS2010ADR as a high-side switch?
  No, the TPS2010ADR is designed as a low-side switch. Using it as a high-side switch may not provide the expected performance and may even damage the device.
• How do I reduce the power consumption of the TPS2010ADR in standby mode?
  To reduce power consumption in standby mode, use the shutdown pin (SHDN) to turn off the device when not in use. This can reduce the quiescent current to less than 1uA.
