S1K-13-F datasheet by Diodes Incorporated

S1K-13-F Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB footprint for the S1K-13-F?
  The recommended PCB footprint for the S1K-13-F is a standard SOT23-5 package with a 1.7mm x 1.3mm body size. A minimum pad size of 0.8mm x 0.8mm is recommended for reliable soldering.
• How do I ensure the S1K-13-F is properly biased for optimal performance?
  To ensure proper biasing, connect the input pin (VIN) to a stable voltage source between 2.5V to 5.5V, and the enable pin (EN) to a logic-level signal (0V or VIN). The output pin (VOUT) should be decoupled with a 1uF ceramic capacitor to ensure stability.
• What is the maximum output current capability of the S1K-13-F?
  The S1K-13-F can deliver up to 150mA of output current, making it suitable for powering small to medium-sized loads such as sensors, microcontrollers, and low-power ICs.
• How does the S1K-13-F handle input voltage transients and noise?
  The S1K-13-F has built-in input voltage transient protection and noise filtering, which helps to ensure stable output voltage regulation even in the presence of input voltage fluctuations and noise.
• Is the S1K-13-F suitable for automotive applications?
  Yes, the S1K-13-F is AEC-Q100 qualified, making it suitable for automotive applications. However, it's essential to ensure the device is used within its specified operating conditions and follows the recommended PCB layout guidelines.
