AP2166SG-13 datasheet by Diodes Incorporated

AP2166SG-13 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the AP2166SG-13?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the AP2166SG-13 is 26V, but it's recommended to keep it below 24V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the AP2166SG-13 is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and keep the input and output capacitors close to the IC. Also, avoid using long traces and minimize the loop area of the input and output lines.
• What is the maximum output current that the AP2166SG-13 can deliver?
  The AP2166SG-13 can deliver up to 3A of output current, but it's recommended to keep it below 2.5A for reliable operation and to prevent overheating.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the AP2166SG-13?
  The output voltage of the AP2166SG-13 can be adjusted by using a resistor divider network between the output and the ADJ pin. The output voltage can be calculated using the formula: Vout = 1.25 x (1 + R1/R2).
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the AP2166SG-13?
  The thermal shutdown temperature of the AP2166SG-13 is around 150°C. When the junction temperature exceeds this value, the IC will shut down to prevent damage.
