MAX726CCK Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended layout and routing for the MAX726CCK?
  The recommended layout and routing for the MAX726CCK involves keeping the analog and digital grounds separate, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the traces between the IC and the capacitors. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated analog ground plane is recommended.
• How do I optimize the performance of the MAX726CCK in noisy environments?
  To optimize the performance of the MAX726CCK in noisy environments, use a low-pass filter at the input, add a shield around the IC, and use a common-mode choke to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). Additionally, use a low-ESR capacitor for the output filter.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the MAX726CCK can handle?
  The maximum input voltage that the MAX726CCK can handle is 36V. Exceeding this voltage may damage the IC.
• How do I ensure the stability of the MAX726CCK output voltage?
  To ensure the stability of the MAX726CCK output voltage, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and ensure that the output capacitor has a low equivalent series resistance (ESR). Additionally, use a minimum input capacitance of 1uF.
• What is the recommended input capacitor type for the MAX726CCK?
  The recommended input capacitor type for the MAX726CCK is a low-ESR ceramic capacitor, such as an X5R or X7R type. Avoid using electrolytic capacitors as they have high ESR and may cause instability.
