The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS73018DBVRG4 is 12V, but it's recommended to operate within the recommended input voltage range of 2.7V to 10V for optimal performance and reliability.
To ensure stability and prevent oscillations in the output voltage, it's essential to follow the recommended layout and component selection guidelines provided in the datasheet, including the use of a 10uF ceramic capacitor at the output and a 1uF ceramic capacitor at the input.
The minimum ESR required for the output capacitor is 0.1 ohms, but it's recommended to use a capacitor with an ESR of 0.05 ohms or less to ensure optimal performance and stability.
Yes, it's recommended to use a ceramic capacitor with a voltage rating higher than the output voltage to ensure reliability and prevent capacitor failure. A general rule of thumb is to use a capacitor with a voltage rating at least 1.5 times the output voltage.
The output voltage tolerance can be calculated using the formula provided in the datasheet. To ensure the output voltage meets your application requirements, it's essential to consider the tolerance of the output voltage, the input voltage range, and the temperature range of your application.
