MAX738AEWE+T

The MAX738AEWE+T is a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) specifically designed for general purpose voltage conversion. It is a DC DC switching regulator that integrates the necessary control, and voltage feedback circuitry needed to produce a steady output voltage at the desired level. The device is designed to operate with a wide input voltage range of up to 36V while providing an adjustable output voltage of up to 5.5V.

The MAX738AEWE+T is a low-noise, low-dropout, monolithic voltage regulator that provides very high efficiency over a wide input voltage range of 3.3V to 36V. It is equipped with a synchronous rectifier that improves efficiency by converting the input current to output current with minimal switching losses. This makes it ideal for powering microprocessors, FPGAs, and other low-power electrical devices.

The MAX738AEWE+T regulator is equipped with a feedback circuit to maintain the output voltage at the desired level. It features a micropower shutdown mode for lower power consumption when not in use, as well as a power-good open collector output for monitoring the output voltage. It also features an adjustable soft-start for slow ramp-up of the output voltage. The device is also equipped with current limit protection to prevent over current from damaging the load.

The MAX738AEWE+T is a versatile regulator that is suitable for a range of applications, including low-noise power supplies, voltage conversion, and power management. It is ideal for use in portable devices, such as digital cameras and cell phones, as well as other applications where noise, efficiency, and reliability are important. It is available in an 8-pin SOIC package with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
