The recommended PCB layout for the MAX16828ATT+ is to keep the input and output traces as short as possible, and to use a solid ground plane to reduce noise and EMI. Additionally, it's recommended to place a 10uF capacitor between the VIN and GND pins to filter out high-frequency noise.
To ensure the MAX16828ATT+ is properly powered up and initialized, make sure to follow the power-up sequence specified in the datasheet. Apply a valid input voltage (VIN) to the device, then wait for the internal voltage regulator to stabilize (typically 10ms). After that, the device is ready to operate.
The maximum current that can be drawn from the MAX16828ATT+ depends on the specific application and the input voltage. According to the datasheet, the maximum output current is 150mA. However, it's recommended to derate the output current based on the ambient temperature and the input voltage to ensure reliable operation.
To troubleshoot issues with the MAX16828ATT+, start by checking the input voltage and ensuring it's within the recommended range. Verify that the device is properly powered up and initialized. Use an oscilloscope to check the output voltage and current. If the issue persists, consult the datasheet and application notes for troubleshooting guidelines or contact Maxim Integrated Products' technical support.
Yes, the MAX16828ATT+ is AEC-Q100 qualified and suitable for automotive applications. It meets the requirements for high-reliability and high-temperature operation, making it a suitable choice for automotive systems.
