TLV1117-18CDRJR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TLV1117-18CDRJR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TLV1117-18CDRJR?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TLV1117-18CDRJR is 20V, but it's recommended to keep it below 15V for reliable operation.
• Can I use the TLV1117-18CDRJR in a high-temperature environment?
  The TLV1117-18CDRJR has a maximum operating junction temperature of 150°C, but it's recommended to keep it below 125°C for reliable operation. Above 125°C, the output voltage may droop or the device may shut down.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure the stability of the output voltage, it's recommended to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of less than 5 ohms. Additionally, the input capacitance should be at least 1uF with an ESR of less than 5 ohms.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the TLV1117-18CDRJR to operate?
  The minimum input voltage required for the TLV1117-18CDRJR to operate is 7.5V, but it's recommended to keep it above 8V for reliable operation.
• Can I use the TLV1117-18CDRJR in a low-dropout application?
  The TLV1117-18CDRJR has a dropout voltage of around 1.5V, which means it can operate with an input voltage as low as 19.5V (18V + 1.5V dropout) and still provide a stable output voltage of 18V.
