MAX8513EEI+

The MAX8513EEI+ is a universal step-down power module (PMIC) voltage regulator with a Linear and Switching Regulator. It has a wide range of applications and versatile working principles that makes it really stand out in the field.

Application

The MAX8513EEI+ can be used for a variety of applications because of its wide operating voltage range of 0.7V to 5.6V. It is specifically designed for LED driver applications. It is also suitable for a wide range of voltage supply designs such as industrial, automotive, medical, wearable, and consumer electronics applications. It is also well suited for applications where a high efficiency is required such as PLCs and HVAC systems. Because of its wide input voltage range and low quiescent current of only 150µA, the MAX8513EEI+ is highly recommended for portable and/or battery powered devices.

Working Principle

The MAX8513EEI+ features both a linear and a synchronous mode step-down regulator. In linear mode, the output is regulated by a linear regulator. It uses a feedback loop to adjust the output stage to maintain a constant output voltage. This makes the linear regulator mode ideal for output voltage regulation within the device\'s operating range of 0.7V to 5.6V. In this mode, the MAX8513EEI+ offers a stable voltage regulation with low noise and fast transient response. In synchronous mode, the output voltage is regulated by a highly efficient synchronous regulator. This mode uses a switching regulator to control the output voltage, resulting in a high efficiency rate of up to 95%. This makes the MAX8513EEI+ an ideal choice for applications that require a high efficiency, such as portable and/or battery powered devices.

Conclusion

The MAX8513EEI+ is a versatile and reliable power module suitable for a variety of applications. It is designed to provide a wide operating voltage range and high efficiency rate of up to 95%. Its linear and synchronous regulator modes allows it to be suitable for low noise and low output regulation, as well as high efficiency regulation, respectively. The MAX8513EEI+ is ideal for LED drivers, industrial, automotive, medical, wearable, consumer electronics, PLCs, HVAC systems, portable and/or battery powered devices.
