LM3480IM3-5.0 datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM3480IM3-5.0 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LM3480IM3-5.0 can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 12V, but it's recommended to keep it below 10V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum of 10uF capacitor at the output, and keep the input capacitor value between 1uF to 10uF. Also, ensure that the PCB layout is well-designed to minimize noise and EMI.
• What is the maximum output current that the LM3480IM3-5.0 can provide?
  The maximum output current is 500mA, but it's recommended to keep it below 400mA for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the LM3480IM3-5.0?
  The output voltage can be calculated using the formula: Vout = 5.0V * (1 + R1/R2), where R1 and R2 are the resistors used in the feedback network.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the LM3480IM3-5.0?
  The thermal shutdown temperature is 150°C, and the device will automatically shut down if the junction temperature exceeds this value.
