LTC1879EGN#TRPBF datasheet by Linear Technology

LTC1879EGN#TRPBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LTC1879?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LTC1879 is 60V, but it's recommended to keep it below 50V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the LTC1879 is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended layout and component selection guidelines, including the use of a low-ESR input capacitor and a stable output capacitor. Also, ensure that the feedback network is properly compensated.
• Can I use the LTC1879 in a high-temperature environment?
  The LTC1879 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage as temperature increases to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I protect the LTC1879 from input voltage transients and surges?
  Use a TVS diode or a transient voltage suppressor at the input to protect the LTC1879 from voltage transients and surges. Also, consider adding a fuse or a current limiter to prevent overcurrent conditions.
• Can I use the LTC1879 in a parallel configuration to increase output current?
  Yes, the LTC1879 can be paralleled to increase output current, but it's essential to ensure that the devices are properly synchronized and that the output capacitors are shared to prevent oscillations.
