The MAX1644EAE is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed for power supply applications. It is specifically designed to provide a compact and efficient solution for step-up and step-down voltage conversion.
Key features of the MAX1644EAE include its high voltage conversion efficiency, wide input voltage range, and low operating current. It can efficiently convert input voltages from as low as 1.8V up to 11.5V to output voltages ranging from 2.5V to 10.5V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The IC component incorporates a high-frequency oscillator and a synchronous, rectified buck or boost converter. It operates at a fixed frequency of 400kHz, enabling smaller external components and reducing the overall size of the power supply circuit. This makes it ideal for space-limited applications such as battery-powered systems.
In terms of protection features, the MAX1644EAE incorporates thermal shutdown and current limiting circuitry, ensuring the safety and reliability of the system. It also includes a soft-start capability, enabling a gradual ramp-up of the output voltage to avoid excessive current inrush.
The MAX1644EAE is available in a small 16-pin QSOP package, which helps reduce board space and simplify the overall design. It has a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for various environmental conditions
