MAX811TEUS datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX811TEUS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended input capacitor value for the MAX811TEUS?
  The recommended input capacitor value is 1uF to 10uF, depending on the input voltage and output current requirements. A larger capacitor value can help reduce input ripple and improve transient response.
• How do I ensure the MAX811TEUS is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended PCB layout guidelines, use a low-ESR output capacitor, and add a small ceramic capacitor (e.g., 10nF) between the FB pin and GND. Also, avoid using a capacitor with high ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance) on the output.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the MAX811TEUS can handle?
  The MAX811TEUS can handle input voltages up to 28V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 24V for optimal performance and reliability.
• Can I use the MAX811TEUS in a high-temperature environment?
  The MAX811TEUS is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and ensure good thermal design to prevent overheating.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the MAX811TEUS?
  The output voltage can be adjusted by using a resistive divider network between the FB pin and GND. The ratio of the resistors determines the output voltage, which can be calculated using the formula provided in the datasheet.
