TPS3836E18DBVT datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS3836E18DBVT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended layout and placement for the TPS3836E18DBVT to ensure optimal performance?
  The recommended layout and placement for the TPS3836E18DBVT involves placing the device close to the power source, using a solid ground plane, and keeping the input and output capacitors close to the device. Additionally, it is recommended to use a low-ESR capacitor for the input capacitor and to minimize the distance between the device and the load.
• How do I choose the right input and output capacitors for the TPS3836E18DBVT?
  The choice of input and output capacitors for the TPS3836E18DBVT depends on the specific application requirements. In general, a low-ESR capacitor with a value of 10uF to 22uF is recommended for the input capacitor, while a capacitor with a value of 4.7uF to 10uF is recommended for the output capacitor. The capacitor voltage rating should be at least 1.5 times the maximum input voltage.
• What is the maximum ambient temperature range for the TPS3836E18DBVT?
  The maximum ambient temperature range for the TPS3836E18DBVT is -40°C to 125°C. However, the device can operate at a junction temperature of up to 150°C.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the TPS3836E18DBVT?
  The power dissipation of the TPS3836E18DBVT can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout x Efficiency. Where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, Iout is the output current, and Efficiency is the efficiency of the device.
• What is the recommended input voltage range for the TPS3836E18DBVT?
  The recommended input voltage range for the TPS3836E18DBVT is 2.7V to 18V. However, the device can operate with an input voltage as low as 2.5V and as high as 20V.
