LM5017MRE/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM5017MRE/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LM5017 can handle?
  The LM5017 can handle input voltages up to 60V, but it's recommended to keep it below 50V for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I ensure the LM5017's thermal performance?
  To ensure good thermal performance, make sure to provide a good thermal path from the device to a heat sink or a large copper area on the PCB. Also, keep the device away from other heat sources and ensure good airflow.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for the LM5017?
  A 10uF to 22uF ceramic or electrolytic capacitor with a voltage rating of at least 50V is recommended for the input capacitor. The capacitor should be placed as close to the VIN pin as possible.
• How do I optimize the LM5017's output voltage accuracy?
  To optimize output voltage accuracy, use a high-precision resistor divider network for the feedback resistors, and ensure that the output voltage is measured directly at the output pin of the device.
• What is the maximum output current that the LM5017 can deliver?
  The LM5017 can deliver up to 1.5A of output current, but it's recommended to keep the output current below 1.2A for optimal performance and reliability.
