TPS72516DCQR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS72516DCQR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS72516DCQR?
  The maximum input voltage is 17V, but it's recommended to keep it below 15V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR of 0.1Ω to 10Ω, and place the capacitor close to the output pin.
• What is the maximum output current I can draw from the TPS72516DCQR?
  The maximum output current is 1.5A, but it's recommended to keep it below 1.2A for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the TPS72516DCQR?
  Power dissipation (PD) can be calculated using the formula: PD = (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT. Make sure to keep the junction temperature (TJ) below 125°C to prevent overheating.
• What is the purpose of the EN pin, and how do I use it?
  The EN (enable) pin is used to turn the regulator on or off. Connect EN to VIN to enable the regulator, or connect it to GND to disable it. Use a logic signal to control the EN pin if you need to dynamically turn the regulator on or off.
