AP2186SG-13 datasheet by Diodes Incorporated

AP2186SG-13 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the AP2186SG-13?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the AP2186SG-13 is 26V, but it's recommended to keep it below 24V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the AP2186SG-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 to reduce noise and oscillation.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the AP2186SG-13 to operate?
  The minimum input voltage required for the AP2186SG-13 to operate is 7V, but it's recommended to keep it above 8V for reliable operation.
• Can I use the AP2186SG-13 in a high-temperature environment?
  The AP2186SG-13 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage as the temperature increases to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the AP2186SG-13?
  The output voltage of the AP2186SG-13 can be calculated using the formula: Vout = 0.8V x (1 + R1/R2), where R1 and R2 are the resistors used in the feedback network.
