TPS2000CDGKR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS2000CDGKR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current rating for the TPS2000CDGKR?
  The maximum current rating for the TPS2000CDGKR is 2A, but it's recommended to limit the current to 1.5A for continuous operation to ensure reliability and prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the TPS2000CDGKR is properly thermally managed?
  To ensure proper thermal management, it's essential to provide a heat sink or a thermal pad on the exposed pad of the device. Additionally, keep the surrounding components at a safe distance to allow for adequate airflow and heat dissipation.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for the TPS2000CDGKR?
  The recommended input capacitor value is 10uF to 22uF, and it's recommended to use a low-ESR ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R dielectric) to minimize voltage ripple and ensure stability.
• Can I use the TPS2000CDGKR in a high-temperature environment?
  The TPS2000CDGKR is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's essential to derate the output current and ensure proper thermal management to prevent overheating and reliability issues.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the TPS2000CDGKR?
  The output voltage of the TPS2000CDGKR can be adjusted by using an external resistor divider network between the VOUT pin and the GND pin. The recommended resistor values are R1 = 10kΩ and R2 = 2kΩ to 10kΩ, depending on the desired output voltage.
