The recommended input capacitor value is 1uF to 10uF, depending on the input voltage and output current requirements. A larger capacitor value can help to reduce input ripple and improve output stability.
To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended PCB layout guidelines, use a sufficient input capacitor, and keep the output capacitor value within the recommended range. Also, avoid using a capacitor with a high equivalent series resistance (ESR) on the output.
The MAX761CPA+ can handle a maximum input voltage of 18V. However, it's recommended to operate the device within the recommended input voltage range of 7V to 15V for optimal performance and reliability.
The MAX761CPA+ is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, the device's performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage according to the temperature derating curve provided in the datasheet.
The output voltage of the MAX761CPA+ can be calculated using the formula: VOUT = VREF x (1 + R1/R2), where VREF is the internal reference voltage (2.5V), R1 is the feedback resistor, and R2 is the divider resistor. The output voltage range is adjustable from 2.5V to 15V.
