TPS73618DCQR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS73618DCQR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the TPS73618DCQR can handle?
  The TPS73618DCQR can handle input voltages up to 12V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 10V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, it's essential to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of 0.1Ω or less, and to place the capacitor close to the output pin of the regulator.
• What is the dropout voltage of the TPS73618DCQR?
  The dropout voltage of the TPS73618DCQR is typically around 300mV at an output current of 1A, but it can vary depending on the input voltage and output current.
• Can I use the TPS73618DCQR in a high-temperature environment?
  The TPS73618DCQR is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's essential to ensure proper thermal management and heat sinking to prevent overheating, especially in high-temperature environments.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the TPS73618DCQR?
  The power dissipation of the TPS73618DCQR can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout, where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current.
