TPS3306-15D datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS3306-15D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS3306-15D?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS3306-15D is 18V, but it's recommended to keep it below 15V for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I ensure the TPS3306-15D 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 TPS3306-15D to function properly?
  The minimum input voltage required for the TPS3306-15D to function properly is 6.5V, but it's recommended to keep it above 7V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the TPS3306-15D in a high-temperature environment?
  The TPS3306-15D is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage at higher temperatures to ensure reliability and prevent overheating.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the TPS3306-15D?
  The output voltage of the TPS3306-15D is fixed at 15V, but you can adjust it by using an external resistor divider network or a voltage feedback pin, as described in the datasheet.
