The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS54618RTET is 18V, but it's recommended to keep it below 15V for optimal performance and reliability.
To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended layout and component selection guidelines in the datasheet, and add a 10nF ceramic capacitor between the VIN and GND pins to filter out noise.
The minimum ESR required for the output capacitor is 10mΩ, but it's recommended to use a capacitor with an ESR of 5mΩ or lower for optimal performance.
Yes, a ceramic capacitor can be used as the output capacitor, but it's recommended to use a capacitor with a high ripple current rating and a low ESR to ensure stability and optimal performance.
The output voltage of the TPS54618RTET can be adjusted by changing the resistor divider ratio between the FB and VOUT pins. A higher resistor value will result in a higher output voltage, and vice versa.
