BCX38C Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the BCX38C?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the BCX38C is 2.7V to 5.5V.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage in the BCX38C?
  To ensure stability, it's recommended to use a minimum output capacitance of 1uF and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Additionally, the input capacitor should be at least 1uF with an ESR of 0.1 ohm or less.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the BCX38C can handle?
  The maximum input voltage that the BCX38C can handle is 6.5V. Exceeding this voltage may cause damage to the device.
• How does the BCX38C behave during a short-circuit event?
  The BCX38C has built-in short-circuit protection. In the event of a short circuit, the device will limit the output current to prevent damage. Once the short circuit is removed, the device will automatically recover.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the BCX38C?
  The thermal shutdown temperature of the BCX38C is typically around 150°C. If the junction temperature exceeds this value, the device will shut down to prevent damage.
