The MAX158AEWI+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed by Maxim Integrated. It is a low-dropout linear regulator that offers a range of features for efficient voltage regulation in various applications.
One key feature of the MAX158AEWI+ is its input voltage flexibility. It can operate with input voltages ranging from 4.5V to 72V, allowing it to handle a wide range of power supply sources. This feature makes it suitable for use in different industries, including automotive, industrial, and telecom applications.
The IC component provides a regulated output voltage with high accuracy. It offers an output voltage range of 0.8V to 5.5V, making it versatile for powering different electronic devices. The MAX158AEWI+ also maintains high output voltage accuracy, with a typical variation of only ±1.7% over temperature and load changes.
To ensure efficient power dissipation and prevent overheating, the MAX158AEWI+ incorporates a thermal shutdown feature. This function protects the IC from damage by shutting down the regulator if the temperature exceeds a safe threshold. It helps maintain the reliability and longevity of the component.
Another notable feature of the MAX158AEWI+ is its low-dropout voltage (LDV) capability. LDV refers to the difference between the input and output voltages required for the regulator to maintain proper regulation
