MAX5480BEEE+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX5480BEEE+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended layout and routing for the MAX5480BEEE+?
  The recommended layout and routing for the MAX5480BEEE+ 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 plane is recommended.
• How do I ensure the MAX5480BEEE+ is stable and oscillation-free?
  To ensure stability and prevent oscillation, make sure to follow the recommended layout and routing guidelines, use a sufficient decoupling capacitor (e.g., 10uF) close to the IC, and avoid using long traces or wires that can introduce noise and instability.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the MAX5480BEEE+ can handle?
  The MAX5480BEEE+ can handle input voltages up to 36V, but it's recommended to operate within the specified operating range of 4.5V to 30V for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I program the MAX5480BEEE+ for a specific output voltage?
  The MAX5480BEEE+ can be programmed for a specific output voltage using an external resistor divider network connected to the FB pin. The output voltage can be calculated using the formula: VOUT = 1.25V x (R1 + R2) / R2, where R1 and R2 are the resistors in the divider network.
• What is the maximum output current that the MAX5480BEEE+ can deliver?
  The MAX5480BEEE+ can deliver up to 2A of output current, but the actual output current capability may be limited by the input voltage, output voltage, and thermal considerations.
