A good PCB layout for the MAX17502GATB+T involves keeping the input and output capacitors close to the IC, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the traces between the IC and the capacitors. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane and a dedicated ground plane.
To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended component values and PCB layout guidelines. Additionally, ensure that the input and output capacitors are of high quality and have low ESR. It's also important to decouple the input voltage with a capacitor and to use a low-ESR output capacitor.
The MAX17502GATB+T can handle input voltages up to 40V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 36V to ensure reliable operation and to prevent damage to the IC.
The MAX17502GATB+T is a fixed-output voltage regulator, and the output voltage is set internally. However, you can use external resistors to adjust the output voltage. Refer to the datasheet for the resistor divider network calculation and example circuits.
The thermal shutdown temperature of the MAX17502GATB+T is typically around 150°C. When the junction temperature exceeds this threshold, the IC will shut down to prevent damage.
