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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
