TPS73618DCQ datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS73618DCQ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS73618DCQ?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS73618DCQ is 6.5V, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings section of the datasheet. Exceeding this voltage can damage the device.
• How do I ensure stability of the output voltage in my design?
  To ensure stability of the output voltage, it is recommended to use a minimum output capacitance of 2.2uF, as specified in the datasheet. Additionally, the output capacitor should have a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) to minimize voltage ripple.
• What is the minimum input capacitance required for the TPS73618DCQ?
  The minimum input capacitance required for the TPS73618DCQ is 1uF, as specified in the datasheet. This capacitance helps to filter out noise and ripple on the input voltage.
• Can I use the TPS73618DCQ in a high-temperature environment?
  The TPS73618DCQ is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the device's performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. It is recommended to derate the output current and voltage according to the thermal derating curves provided in the datasheet.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the TPS73618DCQ in my design?
  The power dissipation of the TPS73618DCQ can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout, where Vin is the input voltage, Vout is the output voltage, and Iout is the output current. The thermal resistance (RθJA) of the package should also be considered to ensure that the device does not overheat.
