TPS73618DBVT datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS73618DBVT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the TPS73618DBVT can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 13.2V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and ensure that the capacitor's ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) is less than 1 ohm. Also, place the capacitor as close to the output pin as possible.
• What is the minimum input capacitance required for the TPS73618DBVT?
  The minimum input capacitance required is 1uF, but it's recommended to use a 2.2uF to 4.7uF capacitor to ensure stability and reduce noise.
• Can I use the TPS73618DBVT in a high-temperature environment?
  The TPS73618DBVT is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current at high temperatures to prevent overheating. Consult the datasheet for thermal derating information.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the TPS73618DBVT?
  Power dissipation (PD) can be calculated using the formula: PD = (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT. Ensure that the calculated PD is within the maximum allowed power dissipation of 1.4W.
