MAX1820YEUB

Special Purpose Regulators Overview

The MAX1820YEUB is a switching voltage regulator designed for WCDMA applications, functioning as a 600mA buck regulator. It operates with an input voltage range of 2.6V to 5.5V and provides an adjustable output voltage from 400mV to 3.4V. The device features a fixed switching frequency of 1MHz and delivers up to 600mA of output current. It is housed in a UMAX-10 package and supports operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Special Purpose Regulators Feature Summary

• Integrated synchronous buck topology for high efficiency
• Fixed 1MHz switching frequency for compact external component size
• Current-mode control architecture for fast transient response

Special Purpose Regulators Applications

• WCDMA base station power supplies
• Portable communication equipment regulation
• General-purpose low-voltage DC-DC conversion

Special Purpose Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., +T) against the datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging versus tube configuration. Ensure the order matches the required operating temperature grade and package variant. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official Analog Devices documentation to avoid counterfeit components or incorrect pinout assignments during procurement.

Special Purpose Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-efficiency solution is required for WCDMA or similar mobile infrastructure applications. The fixed 1MHz frequency allows for smaller inductors compared to lower-frequency alternatives. Consider the 600mA output limit and the 2.6V minimum input voltage to ensure compatibility with the system's power rail and load requirements.
