MAX1856EUB

PMIC - Voltage Regulators - Special Purpose

The MAX1856EUB is a special purpose voltage regulator for automotive applications. It is a central component of electronic engine control systems and is responsible for providing precise voltage control over several different electrical loads. As such, it is an important component for ensuring reliable engine operation and performance.

The MAX1856EUB is a low-side buck regulator with a wide input voltage range between 6V and 42V. It offers four output voltages, 3.2V, 3.3V, 5V and 8V, while its maximum current output is 2.5A. It is designed with a wide temperature range, from -40°C to +125°C and offers excellent line and load regulation. Additionally, it has built-in protection features such as Over Temperature Protection (OTP) and Over Current Protection (OCP).

The MAX1856EUB works by using a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique to regulate the output voltage. A pulse generator produces a series of pulses and these pulses are then used to control the current flow in a buck topology. The width of the pulses is adjusted so that the output voltage is regulated and the current is kept within safe limits. The result is a very precise voltage control.

The MAX1856EUB is the ideal choice for automotive applications that require precise and reliable voltage regulation. Its wide input voltage range and temperature tolerance make it well suited for automotive environments. It also offers excellent line and load regulation and features built-in protection features for additional safety. This makes it the perfect choice for automotive electronic control systems that need reliable voltage regulation.
