The MAX1649CSA+T is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed specifically for power supply applications. It is a high-efficiency, step-up DC-DC converter that can provide up to a +12V output voltage from a single +5V input.
One of the key features of the MAX1649CSA+T is its ability to deliver an output current of up to 85mA. This makes it suitable for various low-power applications where a higher voltage is required. The device operates in a pulse width modulation (PWM) mode to achieve high efficiency and minimal power dissipation.
To enhance its effectiveness, the MAX1649CSA+T is equipped with an internal synchronous rectifier that helps to reduce power loss during switching cycles. Additionally, it includes a soft-start feature that minimizes inrush current during power-up, ensuring a smooth and stable voltage output.
The IC component is designed with protection features to ensure safe and reliable operation. It incorporates thermal shutdown circuitry that prevents overheating, thereby enhancing its longevity. Also, it has overcurrent and short-circuit protection, safeguarding it against potential faults.
The MAX1649CSA+T is available in a 0.15" wide SO-8 surface-mount package, which allows for easy integration onto printed circuit boards (PCBs)
