MAX195BEPE datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX195BEPE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended layout and placement for the MAX195BEPE?
  The MAX195BEPE requires careful layout and placement to ensure proper operation. It is recommended to follow the layout guidelines provided in the datasheet, including keeping the input and output traces short and away from noise sources, and using a solid ground plane to reduce EMI.
• How do I handle the thermal dissipation of the MAX195BEPE?
  The MAX195BEPE has a thermal pad that must be connected to a solid ground plane to dissipate heat. It is recommended to use a thermal interface material (TIM) and a heat sink to further improve thermal dissipation. The maximum junction temperature (TJ) should not exceed 150°C.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for the MAX195BEPE?
  The recommended input capacitor value is 10uF to 22uF, with a voltage rating of at least 25V. A low-ESR ceramic capacitor, such as an X5R or X7R type, is recommended to minimize voltage ripple and ensure stable operation.
• How do I ensure the MAX195BEPE is stable and does not oscillate?
  To ensure stability, it is recommended to follow the layout guidelines, use a sufficient input capacitor, and ensure that the output capacitor is properly sized and placed. Additionally, the MAX195BEPE has a built-in compensation network, but external compensation may be required in some cases. Consult the datasheet and application notes for more information.
• What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX195BEPE?
  The maximum output current capability of the MAX195BEPE is 1A. However, the actual output current capability may be limited by the input voltage, output voltage, and thermal dissipation. Consult the datasheet and application notes for more information.
