MAX607C/D

Overview

The MAX607C/D is a low-profile step-up DC-DC converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates as a boost topology voltage regulator with a single output. The device supports fixed outputs of 5V and 12V, or an adjustable range from 3V to 12.5V. It accepts an input voltage between 3V and 5.5V, delivering up to 180mA of output current at a switching frequency of 500kHz. The component is housed in an SOIC-8 surface-mount package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a boost converter for efficient voltage step-up applications
• Offers flexible output configuration including fixed and adjustable voltages
• Designed for low-profile surface-mount installation

Applications

• Portable battery-powered equipment requiring voltage boosting
• Systems needing stable 5V or 12V rails from lower input sources
• Adjustable power supply circuits in compact form factors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix variant against official datasheets, as designations like C/D may indicate temperature grades or obsolete status. Confirm availability through authorized distributors, as lifecycle status can affect sourcing. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal requirements before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact boost solution is required for inputs near 3V to 5.5V. Consider the 180mA current limit and 500kHz switching frequency for noise-sensitive designs. Verify that the SOIC-8 package fits the mechanical constraints and that the operating temperature range meets environmental specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX607 series of low-profile switching regulators. It serves as a power management IC for applications where space is limited and efficiency is critical. The series provides solutions for converting lower battery voltages to higher levels needed by digital logic or sensors.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated Maxim Integrated equivalents if the MAX607C/D is marked obsolete. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters such as switching frequency and current limits before substituting with other boost converters.
