LMV791MK/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LMV791MK/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LMV791MK/NOPB can handle?
  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 ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of 1.5 ohms or less, and place the capacitor close to the output pin.
• What is the dropout voltage of the LMV791MK/NOPB?
  The dropout voltage is typically around 1.2V, which means the input voltage should be at least 1.2V higher than the output voltage for proper regulation.
• Can I use the LMV791MK/NOPB in a high-temperature environment?
  The device is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the junction temperature should be kept below 150°C to ensure reliability and prevent thermal shutdown.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the LMV791MK/NOPB?
  Power dissipation (PD) 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.
