LM2907-N: Capacitor ratings

Part Number: LM2907-N

I was wondering what the max voltage the capacitors will receive (C1 and C2) when run in the configuration shown in Figure 15.

  • Hi Michael,

    Maximum voltage C1 in Figure 15 is approx. Vcc/2, however, due to transient and charging/discharging effects, I would double the voltage rating to approx. 2Vcc or >=25Vdc or higher in Figure 15. 

    C2 max.DC value could reach close to (0.75*Vcc -1) or 10.25Vdc, where Vcc=15V, and ripple voltage is riding on top of DC value. However, I will also place over approx. 2X of Vcc or >25Vdc over 15Vcc configuration. 

    If you have other questions, please let us know. We are able to simulate the part via Tina, if you are interested.  

    Best,

    Raymond
