The recommended PCB layout for the MAX3460ESD+T involves keeping the input and output traces as short as possible, using a solid ground plane, and placing the device close to the signal source. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane and a dedicated ground plane to minimize noise and EMI.
The values of R1 and R2 depend on the specific application and the desired output voltage. A general guideline is to choose R1 and R2 such that the output voltage is within the recommended range of 2.5V to 5.5V. The datasheet provides a formula to calculate the values of R1 and R2 based on the desired output voltage and the input voltage.
The MAX3460ESD+T can handle input voltages up to 7V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 6V to ensure reliable operation and to prevent damage to the device.
The MAX3460ESD+T has built-in ESD protection circuitry that can withstand electrostatic discharges up to ±15kV according to the IEC 61000-4-2 standard. This protection is provided for both the input and output pins.
The typical power consumption of the MAX3460ESD+T is around 10μA, making it suitable for low-power applications. However, the actual power consumption may vary depending on the input voltage, output voltage, and load current.
