Key Featrues
500mA Output Current with Foldback Current Limiting: The MAX604ESA+ provides a robust 500mA output current, ensuring reliable power delivery for medium-power applications. The foldback current limiting feature enhances safety by reducing the output current during overload conditions, protecting both the regulator and the connected circuitry.
Dual Mode Operation (Fixed or Adjustable Output): This LDO regulator supports both fixed (3.3V) and adjustable output voltages ranging from 1.25V to 11V. This flexibility allows it to cater to a wide range of applications, from low-power portable devices to automotive electronics, improving design versatility.
Low Quiescent Current (15µA Typical): With a typical quiescent current of just 15µA, the MAX604ESA+ is highly efficient, making it ideal for battery-powered devices such as pagers, cell phones, and solar-powered instruments. This low power consumption extends battery life and enhances energy efficiency.
Thermal Overload and Reverse-Current Protection: The built-in thermal overload protection prevents damage due to excessive heat, while reverse-current protection safeguards the regulator when the input voltage drops below the output voltage. These features ensure reliable operation in harsh or fluctuating power conditions.
Compact 8-Pin SOIC Package with 1.8W Power Dissipation: The device is housed in a compact 8-pin SOIC package, making it suitable for space-constrained designs. Its ability to dissipate up to 1.8W of power ensures stable performance even in high-power applications, such as automotive electronics and portable instrumentation.
