TPS2060CDGN datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS2060CDGN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current rating of the TPS2060CDGN?
  The maximum current rating of the TPS2060CDGN is 2A, but it can be limited by the thermal performance of the PCB and the ambient temperature.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure the stability of the output voltage, it is recommended to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR of 1ohm or less, and to place the capacitor as close to the output pin as possible.
• What is the purpose of the EN pin, and how do I use it?
  The EN (enable) pin is used to turn the device on and off. To use it, connect the EN pin to a logic-level signal (e.g. from a microcontroller) to enable or disable the device. When EN is high, the device is enabled, and when EN is low, the device is disabled.
• How do I choose the right input capacitor for the TPS2060CDGN?
  Choose an input capacitor with a voltage rating that exceeds the maximum input voltage, and a capacitance value that is at least 10uF. The capacitor should also have a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) to minimize voltage ripple.
• What is the thermal derating of the TPS2060CDGN, and how does it affect the device's performance?
  The thermal derating of the TPS2060CDGN is 20mA/°C above 25°C. This means that for every degree above 25°C, the maximum current rating of the device decreases by 20mA. This is important to consider when designing the device into a system, as high temperatures can reduce the device's performance.
