MAX738AEWE+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX738AEWE+ from Analog Devices (formerly Maxim Integrated) is a 5V output, step-down (buck) switching regulator designed for efficient power conversion. It accepts an input voltage range of 6V to 16V and can deliver a continuous output current of 750mA. This device utilizes pulse-width modulation (PWM) current-mode control for precise regulation and excellent transient response, with an output voltage accuracy of ±5% over line, load, and temperature variations.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a switching frequency of 160kHz, high efficiencies ranging from 85% to 96%, a low quiescent current of 1.7mA, and a shutdown current of only 6µA. The regulator incorporates essential protection features such as cycle-by-cycle current limiting, overcurrent limiting, undervoltage lockout, and programmable soft-start.

 

Packaged in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package, the MAX738AEWE+ is suitable for applications requiring compact and reliable power solutions. Its design simplifies component selection, requiring only a single preselected inductor value. This makes it a good choice for portable instruments, cellular phones, personal communicators, distributed power systems, and computer peripherals.
