The TPS78601DCQR can handle a maximum input voltage of 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and reliability.
To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Also, keep the input capacitance as close to the device as possible.
The dropout voltage of the TPS78601DCQR is typically around 300mV at an output current of 1A, but it can vary depending on the input voltage and output current.
The TPS78601DCQR is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the junction temperature should be kept below 150°C to ensure reliability. Make sure to follow the thermal design guidelines in the datasheet.
The power dissipation of the TPS78601DCQR can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout. Make sure to consider the thermal resistance and junction temperature when calculating the power dissipation.
