ZLDO1117G18TA datasheet by Diodes Incorporated

ZLDO1117G18TA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the ZLDO1117G18TA can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 20V, but it's recommended to keep it below 15V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, a minimum output capacitance of 10uF is recommended, and the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) should be less than 1 ohm.
• What is the maximum output current that the ZLDO1117G18TA can provide?
  The maximum output current is 1A, but it's recommended to keep it below 800mA for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the ZLDO1117G18TA?
  Power dissipation 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.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the ZLDO1117G18TA?
  The thermal shutdown temperature is typically around 150°C, but it can vary depending on the specific device and operating conditions.
