LP3856ES-2.5/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LP3856ES-2.5/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LP3856ES-2.5/NOPB?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LP3856ES-2.5/NOPB is 15V. Exceeding this voltage may damage the device.
• How do I ensure stability of the output voltage in my design?
  To ensure stability of the output voltage, it is recommended to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR of 0.1 ohms or less, and to place the capacitor as close to the output pin as possible.
• What is the maximum output current that the LP3856ES-2.5/NOPB can provide?
  The maximum output current that the LP3856ES-2.5/NOPB can provide is 3A. Exceeding this current may cause the device to overheat or shut down.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the LP3856ES-2.5/NOPB?
  The power dissipation of the LP3856ES-2.5/NOPB 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.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the LP3856ES-2.5/NOPB?
  The thermal shutdown temperature of the LP3856ES-2.5/NOPB is 150°C. If the junction temperature exceeds this value, the device will shut down to prevent damage.
