LM1117MPX-ADJ/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM1117MPX-ADJ/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LM1117MPX-ADJ/NOPB?
  The maximum input voltage is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the LM1117MPX-ADJ/NOPB?
  The output voltage can be adjusted by connecting a resistor divider network between the output and the adjust pin. The ratio of the resistors determines the output voltage, which can be calculated using the formula: Vout = 1.25V * (1 + R2/R1).
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM1117MPX-ADJ/NOPB to function properly?
  The minimum input voltage is 3.5V, but it's recommended to keep it above 4V for optimal performance and to ensure the output voltage remains stable.
• Can I use the LM1117MPX-ADJ/NOPB in a high-temperature environment?
  The LM1117MPX-ADJ/NOPB is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage to prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage in a noisy environment?
  To ensure stability, it's recommended to add a 10uF capacitor between the input and ground, and a 22uF capacitor between the output and ground. Additionally, using a low-ESR capacitor can help reduce noise and improve stability.
