The recommended layout and placement for the MAX1811ESA+T involves keeping the input and output capacitors close to the IC, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the traces to reduce noise and EMI.
To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended component values and layout guidelines, and add a 10nF capacitor between the VCC and GND pins to filter out noise. Also, avoid using long traces and minimize the distance between the input and output capacitors.
The MAX1811ESA+T can handle a maximum input voltage of 18V, but it's recommended to operate within the specified input voltage range of 7V to 16V for optimal performance and reliability.
The MAX1811ESA+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.
To troubleshoot issues with the MAX1811ESA+T, check the input voltage, output voltage, and current draw. Verify that the component values and layout meet the recommended specifications. Use an oscilloscope to check for noise and oscillations, and consult the datasheet and application notes for guidance.
