LT1083CK datasheet by Linear Technology

LT1083CK Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LT1083CK can handle?
  The maximum input voltage for the LT1083CK is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the output voltage is stable and accurate?
  To ensure a stable and accurate output voltage, make sure to use a suitable output capacitor with a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and a minimum capacitance of 10uF. Also, keep the input voltage ripple low and use a good quality input capacitor.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LT1083CK to function properly?
  The minimum input voltage required for the LT1083CK to function properly is 2.5V above the output voltage. For example, if the output voltage is 3.3V, the minimum input voltage should be at least 5.8V.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the LT1083CK?
  To calculate the power dissipation of the LT1083CK, use 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 LT1083CK?
  The thermal shutdown temperature of the LT1083CK is typically around 150°C. When the junction temperature exceeds this value, the regulator will shut down to prevent damage.
