I'm using LMZ31506 to power a load at the end of a 25' (20AWG) cable, using remote sense to ensure the load is at the proper 5V (minus ground rise).
- Are there any issues about stability over this length? It's just a 25-pin bundled serial cable, so it's about 10mOhm/ft, 30pF/ft, 1nH/ft.
- If the cable is unplugged (no SENSE+ feedback), what happens? Should I add a local high-value resistor (like 10k) between VOUT and SENSE+ to ensure there is always something there?
- The block diagram indicates this is a buck regulator, and all the numbers only show high voltage going to low voltage. So just to confirm, this module cannot boost voltage, right?
- Datasheet recommends to use open-drain to control INH pin, however I need this to be powered off by default, so I'd like to just put a pull down resistor, then use other 5V logic to turn this on. Is there any reason this wouldn't work?
thanks
