The maximum input voltage is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 13.2V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR of 1Ω or less, and a minimum input capacitance of 1uF with an ESR of 1Ω or less. Additionally, keep the output voltage sense lines as short as possible.
The thermal shutdown temperature is typically around 150°C to 160°C, but this can vary depending on the specific device and operating conditions.
While the device can operate up to 125°C, it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage to prevent overheating and ensure reliability. Consult the datasheet and thermal calculations to determine the suitable operating conditions.
Power dissipation (PD) can be calculated using the formula: PD = (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT. Make sure to consider the maximum input voltage, output current, and output voltage to determine the maximum power dissipation.
