L7824ABD2T-TR datasheet by STMicroelectronics

L7824ABD2T-TR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the L7824ABD2T-TR?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the L7824ABD2T-TR is 35V, although it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the L7824ABD2T-TR is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, a minimum output capacitance of 22uF with an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of less than 5 ohms is recommended. Additionally, the input capacitor should be at least 10uF with an ESR of less than 5 ohms.
• What is the dropout voltage of the L7824ABD2T-TR?
  The dropout voltage of the L7824ABD2T-TR is typically around 1.5V to 2V, which means the input voltage must be at least 1.5V to 2V higher than the output voltage for the regulator to function properly.
• Can I use the L7824ABD2T-TR in a high-temperature environment?
  The L7824ABD2T-TR is rated for operation up to 150°C, but the maximum junction temperature (TJ) should not exceed 125°C for reliable operation. It's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage at high temperatures.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the L7824ABD2T-TR?
  The power dissipation of the L7824ABD2T-TR 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.
