The recommended layout and placement for the MAX5440EAG+ involves keeping the input and output capacitors close to the device, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the traces to reduce noise and EMI.
To ensure stability, ensure that the output capacitor is properly sized, the input voltage is within the recommended range, and the device is properly decoupled. Additionally, avoid using long traces and minimize the inductance in the output filter.
The MAX5440EAG+ can handle input voltages up to 28V, but it's recommended to operate within the recommended input voltage range of 4.5V to 24V for optimal performance and reliability.
The output voltage of the MAX5440EAG+ can be adjusted by using a resistive divider network between the output and the feedback pin. The ratio of the resistors determines the output voltage, which can be calculated using the formula provided in the datasheet.
The MAX5440EAG+ can deliver up to 1.5A of output current, but the actual output current capability may be limited by the input voltage, output voltage, and thermal considerations.
