The MAX164CCNG+ requires careful layout and placement to ensure proper operation. It's recommended to place the device close to the power source, use a solid ground plane, and keep the input and output traces short and separate to minimize noise and EMI.
The input capacitor (CIN) should be a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value between 1uF to 10uF, while the output capacitor (COUT) should be a low-ESR ceramic or tantalum capacitor with a value between 1uF to 22uF. The capacitor values and types depend on the specific application, output current, and noise requirements.
The MAX164CCNG+ can handle input voltages up to 28V, but it's recommended to operate within the specified input voltage range of 4.5V to 24V for optimal performance and reliability.
The output voltage of the MAX164CCNG+ can be adjusted by connecting a resistive divider network between the output pin (OUT) and the adjust pin (ADJ). The output voltage is determined by the ratio of the resistors and the internal reference voltage (1.25V).
The MAX164CCNG+ can deliver up to 1.5A of output current, but the actual output current depends on the input voltage, output voltage, and thermal conditions. It's recommended to derate the output current based on the specific application and operating conditions.
