The TPS78601DCQ can handle input voltages up to 12V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 10V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
To ensure the stability of the output voltage, it's essential to use a suitable output capacitor with a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and a sufficient capacitance value. A 10uF ceramic capacitor is a good starting point.
The minimum input capacitance required is 1uF, but it's recommended to use a 4.7uF or 10uF capacitor to ensure stability and reduce input voltage ripple.
The TPS78601DCQ is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's essential to ensure proper thermal management and heat sinking to prevent overheating. A thermal pad or heat sink is recommended for high-temperature applications.
The output voltage of the TPS78601DCQ can be calculated using the formula: Vout = 1.2V x (1 + R1/R2), where R1 and R2 are the resistors used in the feedback network.
