MAX5048BAUT#G16 datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX5048BAUT#G16 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the MAX5048BAUT#G16 to ensure optimal performance?
  The recommended PCB layout for the MAX5048BAUT#G16 involves keeping the input and output traces as short as possible, using a solid ground plane, and placing the device close to the power 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.
• How do I ensure the MAX5048BAUT#G16 is properly powered up and initialized?
  To ensure the MAX5048BAUT#G16 is properly powered up and initialized, make sure to follow the power-up sequence specified in the datasheet. This typically involves applying the input voltage (VIN) before the enable signal (EN), and waiting for the internal voltage regulator to stabilize before enabling the output.
• What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX5048BAUT#G16?
  The maximum output current capability of the MAX5048BAUT#G16 is 1A. However, it's recommended to derate the output current based on the ambient temperature and the input voltage to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle overvoltage protection (OVP) and undervoltage protection (UVP) with the MAX5048BAUT#G16?
  The MAX5048BAUT#G16 has built-in OVP and UVP features. For OVP, the device will automatically shut down if the input voltage exceeds 6.5V. For UVP, the device will automatically shut down if the input voltage falls below 2.5V. However, it's recommended to add external circuitry to provide additional protection and hysteresis for these features.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the MAX5048BAUT#G16?
  The thermal shutdown temperature of the MAX5048BAUT#G16 is typically around 150°C. If the device junction temperature exceeds this threshold, it will automatically shut down to prevent damage.
