The MAX853ESA is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a low-dropout linear regulator that provides high precision power supplies for various applications. This IC offers several key features, making it suitable for a wide range of electronic devices.
One of the prominent features of the MAX853ESA is its low dropout voltage, which allows it to regulate power effectively even when the input voltage is close to the desired output. With a typical dropout voltage of only 120mV at a maximum output current of 500mA, this IC ensures efficient power delivery to the load.
This linear regulator operates within a wide input voltage range of 2.7V to 16V, making it versatile for different power supply sources. Moreover, it can deliver an adjustable output voltage within the range of 1.25V to 12.6V, providing flexibility in meeting specific voltage requirements.
To ensure stability, the MAX853ESA includes both current limit and thermal shutdown protection mechanisms. The current limit feature protects the IC and the load from excessive currents, preventing any potential damage. On the other hand, the thermal shutdown shuts off the regulator when the temperature crosses a safe threshold, preventing overheating and enhancing the longevity of the device.
Another significant feature of this device is its low quiescent current consumption, which helps conserve power and extend the battery life in battery-operated applications
