MAX6820UT+T datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX6820UT+T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended input capacitor value for the MAX6820UT+T?
  The recommended input capacitor value is 1uF to 10uF, depending on the input voltage and output current requirements.
• How do I ensure the MAX6820UT+T is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended PCB layout guidelines, use a low-ESR output capacitor, and add a 10nF to 100nF capacitor between the FB pin and GND.
• What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX6820UT+T?
  The maximum output current capability of the MAX6820UT+T is 2A, but it can be limited by the input voltage, output voltage, and thermal considerations.
• Can I use the MAX6820UT+T in a high-temperature environment?
  The MAX6820UT+T is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the maximum junction temperature (TJ) should not exceed 150°C. Ensure proper thermal design and heat sinking to prevent overheating.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the MAX6820UT+T?
  The output voltage can be adjusted by using a resistive divider network between the output and the FB pin. The ratio of the resistors determines the output voltage.
