MAX1623EAP+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX1623EAP+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the MAX1623EAP+ can handle?
  The MAX1623EAP+ can handle input voltages up to 18V, but it's recommended to operate within the 7V to 16V range for optimal performance.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, it's essential to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Additionally, the output capacitor should be placed as close to the output pin as possible.
• What is the purpose of the EN (enable) pin, and how do I use it?
  The EN pin is used to enable or disable the regulator. When EN is high, the regulator is enabled, and when EN is low, the regulator is disabled. This pin can be used to shut down the regulator when not in use, reducing power consumption.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the MAX1623EAP+?
  The output voltage of the MAX1623EAP+ can be calculated using the formula: Vout = (R1 / R2) * 1.25V, where R1 and R2 are the resistors connected to the FB (feedback) pin.
• What is the maximum current that the MAX1623EAP+ can deliver?
  The MAX1623EAP+ can deliver up to 3A of output current, but it's recommended to operate within the 1A to 2A range for optimal performance and thermal management.
