TPS76718QDR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS76718QDR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS76718QDR?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS76718QDR is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 13.2V to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I ensure stability of the output voltage in the TPS76718QDR?
  To ensure stability of the output voltage, it's recommended to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and to keep the output capacitor's ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) below 1 ohm.
• Can I use the TPS76718QDR in a high-temperature environment?
  The TPS76718QDR is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage at higher temperatures to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the TPS76718QDR?
  The power dissipation of the TPS76718QDR 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.
• Can I use the TPS76718QDR in a low-dropout (LDO) configuration?
  Yes, the TPS76718QDR can be used in an LDO configuration, but it's recommended to use an external resistor divider to set the output voltage, and to ensure that the input voltage is at least 1V higher than the output voltage.
