MAX693ACSE+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX693ACSE+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended layout and routing for the MAX693ACSE+ to minimize noise and ensure reliable operation?
  The recommended layout and routing for the MAX693ACSE+ involves keeping the input and output traces separate, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the traces. Additionally, it is recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane and a dedicated ground plane.
• How do I ensure that the MAX693ACSE+ is properly powered and decoupled?
  To ensure proper powering and decoupling of the MAX693ACSE+, use a high-quality decoupling capacitor (e.g., 10uF ceramic capacitor) as close to the device as possible, and connect the capacitor between the VCC pin and the GND pin. Additionally, use a low-ESR capacitor (e.g., 1uF ceramic capacitor) to filter the input voltage.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage on the input pins of the MAX693ACSE+?
  The maximum allowed voltage on the input pins of the MAX693ACSE+ is 6V. Exceeding this voltage may damage the device.
• How do I troubleshoot issues with the MAX693ACSE+ not outputting the correct voltage?
  To troubleshoot issues with the MAX693ACSE+ not outputting the correct voltage, check the input voltage, ensure proper decoupling, and verify that the device is properly powered. Also, check for any short circuits or open circuits on the output pins.
• Can I use the MAX693ACSE+ in a high-temperature environment?
  The MAX693ACSE+ is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, it is recommended to derate the device's performance at high temperatures. Consult the datasheet for specific derating information.
