TPS72518DCQR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS72518DCQR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the TPS72518DCQR can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 18V, 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, and an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of less than 1 ohm. Also, place the output capacitor close to the regulator.
• What is the maximum output current that the TPS72518DCQR can provide?
  The maximum output current is 150mA, but it's recommended to keep it below 100mA for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I choose the right input capacitor for the TPS72518DCQR?
  Choose an input capacitor with a minimum capacitance of 1uF, and a voltage rating of at least 2 times the maximum input voltage. X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors are recommended.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the TPS72518DCQR?
  The thermal shutdown temperature is typically around 150°C, but it can vary depending on the specific device and operating conditions.
