TPS60213DGSR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS60213DGSR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for the TPS60213DGSR?
  The recommended input capacitor value is 1uF to 10uF, and the type should be a low-ESR ceramic capacitor, such as X5R or X7R, to ensure stable operation and minimize noise.
• How do I ensure the TPS60213DGSR operates within its specified temperature range?
  Ensure good thermal design and layout practices, such as providing adequate heat sinking, using thermal vias, and keeping the device away from heat sources. Also, consider using a thermal pad or heat sink to dissipate heat.
• What is the maximum output current that the TPS60213DGSR can deliver?
  The TPS60213DGSR can deliver up to 150mA of output current, but this may vary depending on the input voltage, output voltage, and ambient temperature. Always check the datasheet for specific current limits and derating curves.
• Can I use the TPS60213DGSR in a battery-powered device?
  Yes, the TPS60213DGSR is suitable for battery-powered devices due to its low quiescent current (IQ) of 1.5uA, which helps to extend battery life. However, ensure that the input voltage is within the recommended range and that the device is properly shut down when not in use.
• How do I troubleshoot issues with the TPS60213DGSR, such as output voltage instability or oscillation?
  Check the input voltage, output voltage, and output current to ensure they are within the specified ranges. Verify that the input and output capacitors are properly selected and placed. Also, check for any layout or PCB issues that may be causing noise or oscillation. Consult the datasheet and application notes for troubleshooting guidelines.
