LTC4360ISC8-1#TRPBF datasheet by Linear Technology

LTC4360ISC8-1#TRPBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum voltage rating for the input pins?
  The maximum voltage rating for the input pins (VIN and VCC) is 36V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the IC doesn't overheat?
  To prevent overheating, ensure good thermal conductivity between the IC and the PCB, use a heat sink if necessary, and keep the ambient temperature below 85°C (185°F).
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type?
  A 10uF to 22uF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended for the input pin (VIN) to filter out noise and ensure stable operation.
• Can I use the LTC4360 as a voltage regulator?
  No, the LTC4360 is an overvoltage protection (OVP) and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) controller, not a voltage regulator. It's designed to protect downstream circuits from overvoltage and undervoltage conditions.
• How do I set the overvoltage threshold?
  The overvoltage threshold can be set using an external resistor divider network connected to the VTH pin. The threshold voltage is calculated using the formula: VTH = (R1 / (R1 + R2)) * VIN.
