A good PCB layout for the MAX6160EUS+T involves keeping the input and output traces separate, using a solid ground plane, and placing the device close to the power source. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane and a dedicated ground plane.
The MAX6160EUS+T requires a single 2.7V to 5.5V power supply. It's recommended to power the device with a clean, low-noise power source. Power sequencing is not critical, but it's recommended to power the device after the input voltage has stabilized.
The MAX6160EUS+T can drive up to 10nF of capacitive load. However, it's recommended to limit the capacitive load to 1nF to 2nF for optimal performance and stability.
The output voltage of the MAX6160EUS+T can be adjusted by 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.
The thermal shutdown temperature of the MAX6160EUS+T is typically around 150°C. The device will shut down when the junction temperature exceeds this threshold, and will restart when the temperature drops below 130°C.
