TPS2013AD datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS2013AD Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the TPS2013AD can handle?
  The TPS2013AD can handle input voltages up to 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I ensure the TPS2013AD is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended PCB layout guidelines, use a sufficient output capacitor (at least 10uF), and add a 1uF capacitor between the VIN and GND pins.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the TPS2013AD to operate?
  The TPS2013AD can operate with input voltages as low as 2.7V, but the output voltage regulation may not be as accurate below 3.5V.
• Can I use the TPS2013AD in a high-temperature environment?
  The TPS2013AD is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade above 85°C. Ensure proper thermal management and consider derating the output current at high temperatures.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the TPS2013AD?
  The output voltage of the TPS2013AD is set by the resistive divider network between the VOUT and ADJ pins. Use the formula: VOUT = 1.25V x (1 + R1/R2), where R1 and R2 are the resistors in the divider network.
