TPS60310DGS datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS60310DGS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for the TPS60310DGS?
  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 TPS60310DGS 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 can be drawn from the TPS60310DGS?
  The maximum output current is 100mA, but it's recommended to derate the output current based on the ambient temperature and the device's thermal design to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use the TPS60310DGS in a battery-powered device?
  Yes, the TPS60310DGS 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 TPS60310DGS, such as output voltage instability or oscillation?
  Check the input voltage, output load, and PCB layout for any issues. Ensure that the input capacitor is properly sized and placed, and that the output capacitor is suitable for the application. Also, verify that the device is properly soldered and that there are no shorts or opens on the PCB.
