The MAX4373FESA requires careful layout and placement to ensure optimal performance. It's recommended to place the device close to the battery, use a solid ground plane, and keep the input and output traces short and separate to minimize noise and EMI.
The selection of external components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors depends on the specific application and requirements. Refer to the datasheet and application notes for guidance on component selection and calculation formulas.
The MAX4373FESA can handle input voltages up to 28V, but it's recommended to operate within the specified input voltage range of 4.5V to 16V for optimal performance and reliability.
The MAX4373FESA has a built-in OVP feature that can be enabled by connecting the OVP pin to a voltage divider network. This allows the device to detect and respond to overvoltage conditions, protecting the system from damage.
The typical efficiency of the MAX4373FESA varies depending on the input voltage, output voltage, and load current. However, according to the datasheet, the device can achieve an efficiency of up to 95% under certain operating conditions.
