TL780-12CKC datasheet by Texas Instruments

TL780-12CKC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TL780-12CKC?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TL780-12CKC is 35V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• Can I use the TL780-12CKC in a high-temperature environment?
  The TL780-12CKC is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and voltage at high temperatures.
• How do I ensure the TL780-12CKC is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a minimum input capacitance of 0.1uF. Also, keep the input and output capacitors close to the regulator.
• Can I use the TL780-12CKC in a switching regulator application?
  No, the TL780-12CKC is a linear regulator and is not designed for use in switching regulator applications. It's intended for use in low-power, low-dropout applications.
• What is the typical dropout voltage of the TL780-12CKC?
  The typical dropout voltage of the TL780-12CKC is around 1.5V, but it can be as low as 1.2V at low output currents.
