TPS60231RGTR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS60231RGTR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended input capacitor value for the TPS60231RGTR?
  The recommended input capacitor value is 1uF to 10uF, depending on the input voltage and output current requirements. A larger capacitor value can help to reduce input voltage ripple and improve output voltage regulation.
• How do I ensure the TPS60231RGTR operates within its safe operating area (SOA)?
  To ensure the TPS60231RGTR operates within its SOA, ensure that the input voltage, output current, and ambient temperature are within the recommended operating conditions specified in the datasheet. Additionally, ensure that the device is properly thermally managed and that the PCB layout is designed to minimize thermal resistance.
• What is the purpose of the EN pin on the TPS60231RGTR?
  The EN (enable) pin is used to enable or disable the regulator. When the EN pin is pulled high, the regulator is enabled, and when it is pulled low, the regulator is disabled. This pin can be used to implement power sequencing or to turn off the regulator when not in use.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the TPS60231RGTR?
  The output voltage of the TPS60231RGTR can be calculated using the following formula: Vout = Vref x (1 + R1/R2), where Vref is the internal reference voltage (1.2V), and R1 and R2 are the resistors used to set the output voltage. The datasheet provides a detailed explanation of the output voltage calculation.
• What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS60231RGTR?
  The maximum output current capability of the TPS60231RGTR is 300mA. However, the actual output current capability may be limited by the input voltage, output voltage, and thermal considerations.
