LM138K Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • The LM138K can handle input voltages up to 35V, but it's recommended to keep it below 25V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
  • To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of 5 ohms. Also, keep the input and output capacitors close to the regulator to minimize parasitic inductance.
  • The LM138K requires a minimum input voltage of 2V above the output voltage to regulate properly. For example, if you're using the 5V version, the input voltage should be at least 7V.
  • The LM138K is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade at high temperatures. Make sure to derate the output current and input voltage according to the datasheet's thermal derating curves.
  • Use a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode or a voltage clamp circuit at the input to protect the LM138K from voltage transients and spikes. This will help prevent damage to the regulator and ensure reliable operation.
