A good PCB layout for the MAX1697REUT+T involves keeping the input and output capacitors close to the IC, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing trace lengths and widths to reduce parasitic inductance and capacitance.
To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended component values and PCB layout, and add a small capacitor (e.g., 10nF) between the FB pin and GND to filter out noise and prevent oscillation.
The MAX1697REUT+T can handle input voltages up to 28V, but it's recommended to operate within the specified input voltage range (4.5V to 24V) for optimal performance and reliability.
The MAX1697REUT+T is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage at higher temperatures to ensure reliability and prevent overheating.
The output voltage of the MAX1697REUT+T can be calculated using the formula: VOUT = (R1/R2) * (VIN - VREF), where R1 and R2 are the resistors in the feedback network, VIN is the input voltage, and VREF is the internal reference voltage (1.25V).
