MAX607ESA

Overview

The MAX607ESA is a low-profile, step-up DC-DC voltage converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates with an input voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V and provides a single output configurable for fixed 5 V or 12 V levels, or adjustable from 3 V to 12.5 V. The device delivers up to 180 mA of output current at a switching frequency of 500 kHz. Designed for surface-mount installation, it utilizes an 8-SOIC package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Boost topology enables efficient voltage step-up conversion from lower input sources.
• Low-profile packaging facilitates integration into space-constrained portable designs.
• Configurable output options support both fixed and adjustable voltage requirements.

Applications

• Portable electronic devices requiring voltage boosting
• Battery-powered systems needing stable higher voltage rails
• General-purpose power management in compact electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Check current availability as distribution channels may vary. Ensure the 8-SOIC package matches your PCB footprint requirements before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a boost converter is required for inputs between 3 V and 5.5 V. Consider the 180 mA current limit and 500 kHz switching frequency for thermal and layout planning. The 8-SOIC package suits applications where board space is limited but through-hole mounting is not feasible.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX607 series of switching regulators. It is designed for applications requiring efficient power conversion from single-cell battery sources or other low-voltage supplies. The series focuses on providing reliable step-up functionality in small form factors suitable for modern portable electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for compatible alternatives. Verify that any substitute maintains the same boost topology, current capability, and package dimensions. Cross-reference electrical specifications to ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs.
