REG71050DRVT datasheet by Texas Instruments

REG71050DRVT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended input capacitor value for optimal performance?
  A 10uF to 22uF ceramic capacitor is recommended for input decoupling, placed as close to the VIN pin as possible.
• How do I ensure stability and prevent oscillations in the output voltage?
  Ensure the output capacitor is a low-ESR type, and add a 1uF to 10uF ceramic capacitor in parallel with the output capacitor to improve stability.
• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the REG71050DRVT?
  The maximum input voltage is 18V, but it's recommended to keep it below 15V for optimal performance and reliability.
• Can I use the REG71050DRVT in a high-temperature environment?
  The device is rated for operation up to 125°C, but thermal derating is required above 85°C. Ensure proper heat sinking and thermal management.
• How do I configure the enable pin (EN) for proper operation?
  The EN pin should be driven high (logic level) to enable the regulator. A pull-up resistor to VIN is recommended to ensure proper startup.
