BR310 datasheet by Rectron Semiconductor

BR310 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the BR310?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the BR310 is 35V, although it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the BR310 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 regulator. Also, avoid using long leads or wires that can introduce inductance.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the BR310 to regulate properly?
  The BR310 can regulate properly with an input voltage as low as 7V, but it's recommended to keep it above 8V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the BR310 in a high-temperature environment?
  The BR310 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and voltage at high temperatures to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I protect the BR310 from input voltage surges or spikes?
  You can add a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode or a voltage clamp circuit at the input to protect the BR310 from voltage surges or spikes.
