The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the TPS77018DBVT is 13.2V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and reliability.
To ensure the stability of the output voltage, it's essential to use a capacitor with a value of at least 2.2uF and an ESR of less than 1 ohm between the output pin and ground. Additionally, the input capacitor should have a value of at least 1uF and an ESR of less than 1 ohm.
The minimum input voltage required for the TPS77018DBVT to function properly is 7.5V, but it's recommended to keep it above 8V for optimal performance.
The TPS77018DBVT is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's essential to ensure that the device is properly heatsinked and that the junction temperature is kept below 150°C to ensure reliability and prevent thermal shutdown.
The power dissipation of the TPS77018DBVT 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.
