MAX1638EAG+

Special Purpose Regulators Overview

The MAX1638EAG+ is a specialized voltage controller IC designed for Intel Pentium II processors, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It operates within an input voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and provides a single adjustable output ranging from 1.3V to 3.5V. The component is housed in a 24-SSOP package with a width of 5.30mm (0.209 inches). It supports surface mount installation and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Special Purpose Regulators Feature Summary

• Designed specifically as a controller for Intel Pentium II processor power management
• Provides a single regulated output channel with adjustable voltage capabilities

Special Purpose Regulators Applications

• Intel Pentium II processor core voltage regulation
• System controller power supply design
• Desktop computer motherboard power distribution

Special Purpose Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status through authorized distributors, as this component may be subject to limited supply or end-of-life restrictions. Confirm that the 24-SSOP package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the input voltage range aligns with your system's 5V rail specifications before integration.

Special Purpose Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for legacy Intel Pentium II architectures requiring precise core voltage control. Consider the 24-SSOP package size for board space constraints. Verify thermal performance within the specified -40°C to +85°C operational range for your specific application environment.

Special Purpose Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX1638 series of special-purpose regulators. It is distinct from general-purpose linear or switching regulators due to its specific optimization for Intel Pentium II processor power sequencing and regulation requirements. The EAG+ suffix indicates the SSOP package variant with lead-free compliance.

Special Purpose Regulators Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Check for updated processor voltage controllers if migrating away from Pentium II architecture.
