MAX15034BAUI+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX15034BAUI+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the MAX15034BAUI+?
  The recommended PCB layout for the MAX15034BAUI+ is to follow the guidelines provided in the Maxim Integrated Products application note AN5121, which provides detailed information on PCB layout considerations for high-frequency switching regulators.
• How do I select the right inductor for the MAX15034BAUI+?
  To select the right inductor for the MAX15034BAUI+, consider the following factors: inductance value, DC resistance, saturation current, and physical size. A good starting point is to use an inductor with an inductance value between 1µH and 10µH, and a DC resistance of less than 100mΩ. Additionally, ensure the inductor can handle the maximum output current of the regulator.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the MAX15034BAUI+ can handle?
  The MAX15034BAUI+ can handle an input voltage up to 42V, but it is recommended to operate within the specified input voltage range of 4.5V to 36V for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the MAX15034BAUI+?
  The output voltage of the MAX15034BAUI+ can be adjusted by using an external resistor divider network connected to the FB pin. The output voltage can be calculated using the formula: VOUT = 0.8V x (1 + R1/R2), where R1 and R2 are the resistors in the divider network.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the MAX15034BAUI+?
  The thermal shutdown temperature of the MAX15034BAUI+ is typically around 150°C, but it can vary depending on the specific device and operating conditions. It is recommended to consult the datasheet and application notes for more information on thermal management and shutdown.
