LTC3786EUD#TRPBF datasheet by Linear Technology

LTC3786EUD#TRPBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LTC3786EUD?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LTC3786EUD is 36V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• How do I select the right inductor for the LTC3786EUD?
  The inductor selection depends on the output current, switching frequency, and output voltage. A good starting point is to use an inductor with a value between 1.5uH to 3.3uH, and a saturation current rating above the maximum output current.
• What is the purpose of the SYNC pin on the LTC3786EUD?
  The SYNC pin is used to synchronize the switching frequency of multiple LTC3786EUD devices in a system, ensuring that they operate at the same frequency and reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• How do I configure the LTC3786EUD for a specific output voltage?
  The output voltage is set by the resistive divider network connected to the FB pin. The ratio of the resistors determines the output voltage, and the datasheet provides a formula to calculate the required resistor values.
• What is the maximum output current that the LTC3786EUD can deliver?
  The maximum output current that the LTC3786EUD can deliver is 2A, but it's limited by the thermal performance of the package and the PCB design. It's recommended to derate the output current based on the ambient temperature and the thermal design.
