Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow general best practices for low-dropout regulator (LDO) design, such as keeping the input and output capacitors close to the device, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing trace lengths and widths.
To ensure stability, follow the recommended output capacitor value and ESR range specified in the datasheet. Additionally, ensure that the input capacitor is properly sized and placed close to the device. Avoid using capacitors with high ESR values, and consider adding a small ceramic capacitor in parallel with the output capacitor to improve stability.
The maximum input voltage rating for the TLV803EA26RDBZR is 18V, but it's recommended to operate the device within the specified input voltage range (6.5V to 18V) to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
The TLV803EA26RDBZR is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's essential to consider the device's power dissipation and thermal management when operating in high-temperature environments. Ensure that the device is properly heatsinked and follow the recommended thermal design guidelines.
The power dissipation of the TLV803EA26RDBZR can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout + (Vin x Iq), where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, Iout is the output current, and Iq is the quiescent current. Refer to the datasheet for the quiescent current value.
