MAX8216ESD+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX8216ESD+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended layout and placement for the MAX8216ESD+ to minimize EMI and ensure optimal performance?
  The MAX8216ESD+ should be placed close to the power source, and the input and output capacitors should be placed as close to the device as possible. A ground plane is recommended to reduce EMI. Additionally, the device should be oriented to minimize the loop area of the input and output traces.
• How do I ensure the MAX8216ESD+ is properly bypassed for optimal performance?
  A 0.1uF ceramic capacitor should be placed between the VIN pin and GND, and a 1uF ceramic capacitor should be placed between the VOUT pin and GND. These capacitors should be placed as close to the device as possible.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the MAX8216ESD+ can handle?
  The MAX8216ESD+ can handle input voltages up to 28V, but it is recommended to operate within the specified input voltage range of 4.5V to 24V for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the MAX8216ESD+?
  The output voltage of the MAX8216ESD+ can be adjusted by connecting a resistor divider network between the VOUT pin and the ADJ pin. The output voltage can be calculated using the formula: VOUT = 1.25V x (1 + R1/R2), where R1 and R2 are the resistors in the divider network.
• What is the maximum output current that the MAX8216ESD+ can deliver?
  The MAX8216ESD+ can deliver up to 1A of output current, but it is recommended to operate within the specified output current range of 10mA to 500mA for optimal performance and reliability.
