The MAX502AENG+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed and manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a dual, low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator capable of offering a regulated output voltage with minimal power dissipation.
This IC operates with an input voltage range from 4.5 volts to 28 volts and provides two regulated output channels, each with a voltage range from 1.2 volts to 26 volts. The maximum output current for this device is 150 milliamperes per channel.
One of the key features of the MAX502AENG+ is its low dropout voltage, which means that it can maintain a stable output voltage even when the input voltage is very close to the desired output voltage. This feature allows for efficient power conversion and minimizes power loss.
Additionally, this IC component incorporates a precision voltage reference that ensures accurate and stable output voltages. It also includes a thermal shutdown protection mechanism to prevent excessive heating and protect the device from damage.
The MAX502AENG+ offers excellent line and load regulation, which means that it is capable of maintaining a constant output voltage even when there are variations in the input voltage or changes in the load current. This makes it suitable for applications requiring stable and reliable power supply, such as telecommunications, industrial control systems, and battery-powered devices.
Moreover, this IC is designed with low quiescent current, making it suitable for battery-powered applications where power efficiency is crucial
