MAX1946ETA+T datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX1946ETA+T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the MAX1946ETA+T can handle?
  The MAX1946ETA+T can handle input voltages up to 28V, but it's recommended to operate within the 7V to 24V range for optimal performance.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, it's essential to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Additionally, the output capacitor should be placed as close to the output pin as possible.
• What is the purpose of the EN (enable) pin?
  The EN pin is used to enable or disable the regulator. When the EN pin is pulled low, the regulator is shut down, and the output voltage is disconnected from the input voltage. This feature can be used to reduce power consumption in standby modes.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the MAX1946ETA+T?
  The output voltage of the MAX1946ETA+T can be calculated using the following formula: VOUT = (R1 / R2) x 1.25V, where R1 and R2 are the resistors connected to the FB (feedback) pin.
• What is the maximum output current that the MAX1946ETA+T can provide?
  The MAX1946ETA+T can provide a maximum output current of 1A, but it's recommended to operate within the 500mA to 800mA range for optimal performance and thermal management.
