MAX1831EEE+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX1831EEE+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the MAX1831EEE+ can handle?
  The MAX1831EEE+ can handle input voltages up to 23V, but it's recommended to operate within the 7V to 16V range for optimal performance.
• How do I ensure the output voltage is stable and regulated?
  To ensure a stable output voltage, make sure to use a suitable output capacitor (e.g., 10uF to 22uF) and a minimum load of 1mA. Also, ensure the input voltage is within the recommended range and the device is operated within the specified temperature range.
• What is the maximum output current that the MAX1831EEE+ can provide?
  The MAX1831EEE+ can provide up to 1A of output current, but it's recommended to operate within the 500mA to 800mA range for optimal performance and thermal management.
• How do I configure the output voltage of the MAX1831EEE+?
  The output voltage of the MAX1831EEE+ can be configured using an external resistor divider network (R1 and R2) connected to the FB pin. The output voltage can be calculated using the formula: Vout = 1.25V x (1 + R2/R1).
• What is the purpose of the EN pin on the MAX1831EEE+?
  The EN (enable) pin is used to enable or disable the regulator. When the EN pin is pulled high (above 1.4V), the regulator is enabled, and when it's pulled low (below 0.4V), the regulator is disabled.
