NX1117C33Z,115 datasheet by NXP Semiconductors

NX1117C33Z,115 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the NX1117C33Z,115?
  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 stability and prevent oscillations in the NX1117C33Z,115?
  To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of 0.5 ohms or less, and place the capacitor close to the output pin.
• What is the minimum input capacitance required for the NX1117C33Z,115?
  A minimum input capacitance of 1uF is recommended, but 10uF or more is recommended for optimal performance and to prevent oscillations.
• Can I use the NX1117C33Z,115 in a high-temperature environment?
  The NX1117C33Z,115 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but thermal derating is required above 85°C. Ensure proper heat sinking and thermal management to prevent overheating.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the NX1117C33Z,115?
  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.
