MAX4613ESE+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX4613ESE+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the MAX4613ESE+?
  The recommended PCB layout for the MAX4613ESE+ involves keeping the analog and digital grounds separate, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the traces between the IC and the capacitors. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated analog ground layer is recommended.
• How do I ensure the MAX4613ESE+ is properly powered up and powered down?
  To ensure proper power-up and power-down, the MAX4613ESE+ requires a monotonic power supply ramp-up and ramp-down. The power supply should be ramped up to the minimum operating voltage (VCC) within 10ms, and ramped down to 0V within 10ms. Additionally, the EN pin should be tied to VCC or driven high after power-up is complete.
• What is the maximum capacitive load that the MAX4613ESE+ can drive?
  The MAX4613ESE+ can drive a maximum capacitive load of 100pF. Exceeding this limit may cause oscillations or instability in the output voltage.
• How do I minimize noise and EMI in my design using the MAX4613ESE+?
  To minimize noise and EMI, use a low-ESR capacitor for C1, keep the layout compact, and use a shielded cable for the output. Additionally, consider adding a ferrite bead or a common-mode choke to the output to reduce EMI.
• What is the thermal derating for the MAX4613ESE+?
  The MAX4613ESE+ has a thermal derating of 6.4mW/°C above 25°C. This means that the maximum power dissipation decreases by 6.4mW for every degree Celsius above 25°C.
