The recommended layout and placement for the MAX17108ETI+ involves keeping the input capacitors close to the IC, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the traces between the IC and the capacitors. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane is also recommended.
To optimize the performance of the MAX17108ETI+ in a high-noise environment, use a low-ESR input capacitor, add a 10nF to 100nF capacitor between the VCC and GND pins, and consider adding a ferrite bead or a common-mode choke to filter out high-frequency noise.
The maximum input voltage that the MAX17108ETI+ can handle is 28V, but it's recommended to operate the device within the specified input voltage range of 4.5V to 24V to ensure reliable operation and to prevent damage to the IC.
To ensure the stability of the output voltage of the MAX17108ETI+, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, keep the output capacitor close to the IC, and avoid using low-ESR capacitors with high ESL values.
The typical startup time of the MAX17108ETI+ is around 1ms, but this can vary depending on the input voltage, output capacitance, and other factors. It's recommended to check the startup time in the specific application to ensure that it meets the system requirements.
