The MAX1626ESA+T can handle input voltages up to 28V, but it's recommended to operate within the specified input voltage range of 4.5V to 24V for optimal performance.
To ensure stability, it's essential to use the recommended output capacitor value and type, and to follow the layout guidelines provided in the datasheet. Additionally, the input capacitor should be placed close to the VIN pin to minimize noise and ensure stability.
The MAX1626ESA+T can provide up to 1A of output current, but it's recommended to derate the output current based on the input voltage and ambient temperature to ensure reliable operation.
The output voltage of the MAX1626ESA+T can be adjusted by using a resistive divider network between the FB pin and the output voltage. The datasheet provides a formula to calculate the required resistor values for a specific output voltage.
The EN (enable) pin is used to enable or disable the regulator. When the EN pin is pulled high, the regulator is enabled, and when it's pulled low, the regulator is disabled. This pin can be used to implement power sequencing or to shut down the regulator when not in use.
