LD1086V datasheet by STMicroelectronics

LD1086V Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LD1086V?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LD1086V is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the LD1086V is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of 1.5 ohms. Also, keep the input and output capacitors close to the regulator to minimize parasitic inductance.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LD1086V to function properly?
  The minimum input voltage required for the LD1086V to function properly is 7.5V, but it's recommended to keep it above 8V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the LD1086V in a high-temperature environment?
  The LD1086V is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade at high temperatures. Make sure to provide adequate heat sinking and consider derating the output current at high temperatures.
• How do I protect the LD1086V from input voltage transients?
  Use a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode or a voltage clamp at the input to protect the LD1086V from voltage transients and spikes.
