MAX34408ETE+

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The MAX34408ETE+ is a dual high-side current monitor and regulator from the MAX34408 series, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 13.2 V and draws a typical operating supply current of 830 uA. The device is housed in a 16-pin TQFN package with exposed pad, suitable for surface mount installation. It functions as a power management IC designed for precise current sensing applications.

• Battery-powered device protection circuits

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to limited availability status. Confirm RoHS compliance and specific packaging variants (tube vs. reel) against project requirements. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes prior to final design approval to ensure long-term supply stability.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel high-side current monitoring with SMBus connectivity is required. Ensure the system supply voltage remains between 2.5 V and 13.2 V. Consider the TQFN-16 package constraints for thermal management and PCB layout. Verify that the 830 uA quiescent current aligns with low-power design goals.

Current Regulation/Management Part Context

Part of the MAX34408 family of current monitors and regulators. Designed for applications requiring accurate current measurement and control via digital interfaces. Manufactured under the Maxim Integrated brand, now part of Analog Devices Inc., focusing on precision analog and mixed-signal solutions for industrial and consumer markets.

Current Regulation/Management Replacement Considerations

Check official datasheets for pin-compatible alternatives within the MAX34408 series. Verify functional equivalence for dual high-side monitoring and SMBus compatibility before substitution.
