TPS2041ADR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS2041ADR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current rating of the TPS2041ADR?
  The maximum current rating of the TPS2041ADR is 2A, but it can be limited by the thermal performance of the PCB and the ambient temperature.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure the stability of the output voltage, it is recommended to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR of 1ohm or less, and to place the capacitor as close to the output pin as possible.
• What is the purpose of the EN pin, and how do I use it?
  The EN (enable) pin is used to turn the regulator on and off. To use it, connect the EN pin to a logic-level signal (e.g. from a microcontroller) to enable or disable the regulator. When EN is high, the regulator is enabled, and when EN is low, the regulator is disabled.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the TPS2041ADR?
  The power dissipation of the TPS2041ADR can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout, where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the TPS2041ADR?
  The thermal shutdown temperature of the TPS2041ADR is typically around 150°C to 170°C, but this can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
