REG104GA-5G4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

REG104GA-5G4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the REG104GA-5G4?
  The maximum input voltage is 5.5V, but it's recommended to keep it below 5V to ensure reliable operation and prevent damage to the device.
• How do I ensure the output voltage is stable and accurate?
  To ensure stable and accurate output voltage, make sure to decouple the input and output pins with suitable capacitors (e.g., 10uF ceramic capacitors), and keep the PCB layout clean and well-grounded.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the REG104GA-5G4 to operate?
  The minimum input voltage required is 2.7V, but it's recommended to keep it above 3V for reliable operation and to ensure the output voltage is within the specified tolerance.
• Can I use the REG104GA-5G4 in a high-temperature environment?
  The REG104GA-5G4 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's essential to consider the thermal dissipation and ensure the device is properly heat-sinked to prevent overheating and damage.
• How do I calculate the output voltage tolerance?
  The output voltage tolerance is specified as ±2% in the datasheet. To calculate the tolerance, multiply the output voltage by the tolerance percentage (e.g., for a 3.3V output, the tolerance would be ±66mV).
