TPS2012AD datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS2012AD Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS2012AD?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS2012AD is 5.5V, but it's recommended to keep it below 5V to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the TPS2012AD is in a low-power state when not in use?
  To ensure the TPS2012AD is in a low-power state when not in use, tie the EN pin to GND. This will put the device in shutdown mode, reducing the quiescent current to less than 1μA.
• What is the minimum output capacitance required for stable operation?
  The minimum output capacitance required for stable operation is 10μF, but it's recommended to use a 22μF or larger capacitor to ensure stability and reduce output voltage ripple.
• Can I use the TPS2012AD in a high-temperature environment?
  The TPS2012AD is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage as temperature increases to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I protect the TPS2012AD from input voltage transients?
  To protect the TPS2012AD from input voltage transients, use a TVS diode or a transient voltage suppressor in parallel with the input capacitor to clamp the input voltage to a safe level.
