LP395Z/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LP395Z/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating temperature range for the LP395Z/NOPB?
  The recommended operating temperature range for the LP395Z/NOPB is -40°C to 125°C.
• How do I ensure the LP395Z/NOPB is properly biased for optimal performance?
  To ensure proper biasing, connect the VIN pin to a stable voltage source between 2.5V and 10V, and decouple the input with a 1uF capacitor. Also, ensure the EN pin is tied to a logic high or low depending on the desired state.
• What is the maximum current draw of the LP395Z/NOPB?
  The maximum current draw of the LP395Z/NOPB is 50mA. However, it's recommended to limit the current to 20mA for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• Can I use the LP395Z/NOPB as a voltage regulator for a microcontroller?
  Yes, the LP395Z/NOPB can be used as a voltage regulator for a microcontroller. However, ensure the output voltage is within the microcontroller's recommended operating range, and add proper decoupling capacitors to the output.
• How do I handle the power-on reset (POR) function of the LP395Z/NOPB?
  The LP395Z/NOPB has a built-in power-on reset (POR) function that holds the output low during power-up. To handle POR, add a capacitor between the EN pin and GND to filter out noise and ensure a clean reset signal.
