LM293DRG4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM293DRG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LM293DRG4 can handle?
  The maximum input voltage for the LM293DRG4 is 26V, but it's recommended to keep it below 24V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the output voltage is stable and accurate?
  To ensure a stable and accurate output voltage, make sure to use a suitable output capacitor with a minimum value of 10uF, and keep the input voltage within the recommended range.
• Can I use the LM293DRG4 in a high-temperature environment?
  The LM293DRG4 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current at higher temperatures to prevent overheating.
• How do I protect the LM293DRG4 from input voltage transients?
  Use a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode or a voltage clamp circuit to protect the LM293DRG4 from input voltage transients and spikes.
• Can I use the LM293DRG4 in a low-dropout application?
  The LM293DRG4 has a relatively high dropout voltage (around 2V), so it's not suitable for low-dropout applications. Consider using a low-dropout regulator like the TLV703 or TPS63050 instead.
