A good PCB layout for the MAX8724ETI+T involves keeping the input and output capacitors close to the IC, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the traces between the IC and the capacitors. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane and a dedicated ground plane.
To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended component values and PCB layout guidelines. Additionally, ensure that the input and output capacitors are of high quality and have low ESR. It's also important to decouple the input voltage with a capacitor and to use a low-impedance output capacitor.
The MAX8724ETI+T can handle input voltages up to 28V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 24V to ensure reliable operation and to prevent overheating.
The output voltage of the MAX8724ETI+T can be calculated using the following formula: VOUT = VREF x (1 + R1/R2), where VREF is the internal reference voltage (1.25V), R1 is the feedback resistor, and R2 is the divider resistor.
The MAX8724ETI+T can deliver up to 3A of output current, but it's recommended to keep the output current below 2.5A to ensure reliable operation and to prevent overheating.
