The MAX1717EEG+ requires careful layout and placement to ensure proper operation. Maxim recommends placing the device close to the battery, using a star-ground configuration, and keeping the input and output traces short and wide to minimize noise and EMI.
The selection of external components such as the inductor, capacitors, and resistors depends on the specific application requirements. Maxim provides a component selection guide in the datasheet, and engineers can use online tools such as the Maxim Power Designer to help with component selection.
The MAX1717EEG+ 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 and reliability.
The MAX1717EEG+ has a built-in OVP feature that can be enabled by connecting the OVP pin to a voltage divider network. The OVP threshold can be set by selecting the appropriate resistor values in the voltage divider network.
The MAX1717EEG+ is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the device's performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. Engineers should consider the thermal design and heat dissipation in their application to ensure reliable operation.
