MAX607ESA+

Overview

The MAX607ESA+ is a low-profile, step-up DC-DC voltage converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within an input voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V and delivers up to 180 mA of output current. The device supports fixed 5 V and 12 V outputs or adjustable configurations ranging from 3 V to 12.5 V. It functions at a switching frequency of 500 kHz and is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package suitable for surface mount technology.

Feature Summary

• Boost topology enables efficient voltage step-up conversion from lower input sources
• Low-profile packaging design facilitates integration into space-constrained applications
• Flexible output configuration supports fixed or adjustable voltage requirements

Applications

• Portable battery-powered systems requiring voltage boosting
• General-purpose power management circuits
• Embedded electronics with single-cell lithium battery inputs

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific datasheet revisions prior to integration. Ensure supply chain stability as availability may be restricted. Validate package markings against official manufacturer documentation to prevent counterfeit risks during procurement.

Selection Notes

Evaluate the 180 mA output current capability against system load requirements. Consider the 500 kHz switching frequency for filter component sizing. Verify that the selected output voltage (fixed 5 V/12 V or adjustable) aligns with target circuit specifications. Assess thermal performance within the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX607 series of switching regulators designed for compact power solutions. It serves as a boost converter alternative to linear regulators when higher output voltages are needed from lower input sources. The SOIC-8 package provides a balance between thermal dissipation and board space efficiency for consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official replacement guides for pin-compatible alternatives. Verify electrical parameter equivalence including input voltage range, output current capacity, and switching frequency before substitution.
