ZLDO1117G15TA datasheet by Diodes Incorporated

ZLDO1117G15TA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the ZLDO1117G15TA can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 20V, but it's recommended to keep it below 18V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure stability with the ZLDO1117G15TA?
  To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF with an ESR of 0.05Ω to 5Ω, and keep the input capacitance below 10uF.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the ZLDO1117G15TA?
  The thermal shutdown temperature is typically around 150°C, but it can vary depending on the specific device and operating conditions.
• Can I use the ZLDO1117G15TA in a high-temperature environment?
  The ZLDO1117G15TA is rated for operation up to 125°C, but derating is required for temperatures above 85°C. Consult the datasheet for specific derating guidelines.
• How do I calculate the power dissipation of the ZLDO1117G15TA?
  Power dissipation can be calculated using the formula: Pd = (Vin - Vout) x Iout. Make sure to consider the maximum power dissipation rating of 1.5W.
