A good PCB layout for the MAX17504ATP+ involves keeping the input and output capacitors close to the IC, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the high-current paths. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane and a solid ground plane is recommended.
Choose input capacitors with low ESR and high ripple current rating. For output capacitors, select ones with low ESR and high capacitance. The datasheet recommends a minimum of 10uF for the input capacitor and 22uF for the output capacitor.
The MAX17504ATP+ can operate in an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. However, the junction temperature should not exceed 150°C.
The MAX17504ATP+ has a built-in overcurrent protection feature. To implement it, connect a sense resistor (Rs) between the output and the GND pin. The IC will limit the output current to a maximum of 1.5A when the voltage across Rs exceeds 50mV.
Yes, the MAX17504ATP+ is a high-reliability device with a failure-in-time (FIT) rate of <10 FIT. It is suitable for use in high-reliability applications such as automotive, industrial, and medical devices.
