OPA548FKTWT datasheet by Texas Instruments

OPA548FKTWT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power dissipation of OPA548FKTWT?
  The maximum power dissipation of OPA548FKTWT is 2.5W. However, it's recommended to keep the junction temperature below 150°C to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I choose the right output current limit resistor for OPA548FKTWT?
  The output current limit resistor (RLIM) should be chosen based on the desired output current limit. A smaller RLIM value allows for higher output currents, but increases power dissipation. A good starting point is RLIM = 1kΩ, which limits the output current to around 100mA.
• What is the recommended layout and thermal management for OPA548FKTWT?
  To ensure reliable operation, it's recommended to use a multi-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and to place the OPA548FKTWT near a heat sink or a thermal pad. Keep the input and output traces short and away from each other to minimize noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Can I use OPA548FKTWT as a unity-gain buffer?
  Yes, OPA548FKTWT can be used as a unity-gain buffer. However, it's recommended to add a 1-2kΩ resistor in series with the input to improve stability and reduce oscillations.
• How do I protect OPA548FKTWT from overvoltage and ESD?
  To protect OPA548FKTWT from overvoltage and ESD, use a voltage clamp or a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode at the input. Additionally, use a series resistor and a capacitor to filter out high-frequency noise and transients.
