Maxim Integrated MAX1682EUK-T Step-Up DC-DC Converter

The MAX1682EUK-T from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, compact, step-up DC-DC converter that is ideal for battery-powered applications. Its small size and high power efficiency make it an excellent choice for portable devices where space is at a premium and battery life is critical.

This component operates from a supply voltage as low as 2.7V and can deliver a fixed or adjustable output voltage up to 28V, making it highly versatile for various applications. The MAX1682EUK-T is available in a 5-pin TSOT23 package, which is not only space-saving but also easy to integrate into your existing design.

One of the key features of the MAX1682EUK-T is its internal 2A switch, which allows it to deliver high output currents even at higher output voltages. Additionally, it boasts a high switching frequency of up to 500kHz, which enables the use of small, low-cost capacitors and inductors, further reducing the overall footprint and cost of the power supply design.

The device also includes a range of protective features to ensure the longevity and reliability of your application. These include thermal shutdown, frequency foldback, and overvoltage protection. These integrated protections help to prevent damage to the device and connected components under abnormal conditions.

Efficiency is a hallmark of the MAX1682EUK-T, as it can provide up to 88% efficiency, which is exceptional for a step-up converter. This high efficiency minimizes heat generation and maximizes battery life, which is especially important for portable devices.

Whether you're designing battery-powered handheld devices, LCD bias supplies, or any other application requiring a high-voltage boost from a lower voltage source, the MAX1682EUK-T is a robust and reliable choice that balances performance with ease of use. Its integration into your design will ensure a cost-effective solution while maintaining high efficiency and a small form factor.
