MAX662AEPA

Special Purpose Regulators Overview

The MAX662AEPA is a switching voltage regulator designed as a charge pump, providing a fixed positive output of 12 V with a maximum output current of 30 mA. It operates from an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and is housed in an 8-PDIP package. The device functions as a flash programming supply and supports through-hole mounting.

Special Purpose Regulators Feature Summary

• Provides a fixed 12 V output suitable for flash programming applications
• Utilizes charge pump topology to step up low input voltages
• Supports through-hole installation via PDIP-8 packaging

Special Purpose Regulators Applications

• Flash memory programming power supplies
• Low-voltage systems requiring stable 12 V rails
• Battery-operated devices needing voltage boosting

Special Purpose Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices channels due to limited availability status. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment against the 8-PDIP specification before integration. Ensure input voltage constraints are strictly maintained within the 4.5 V to 5.5 V range to prevent operational failure or damage to the internal charge pump circuitry during deployment.

Special Purpose Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 12 V output is required from a standard 5 V logic supply without complex feedback networks. The fixed nature simplifies design compared to adjustable regulators. Consider the 30 mA current limit and thermal dissipation capabilities inherent to the PDIP-8 package for your specific load requirements.

Special Purpose Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated MAX662 family of switching regulators. These devices are specifically engineered to provide higher voltage rails from lower input sources using minimal external components. The MAX662 series is commonly utilized in portable electronics and industrial control systems where space efficiency and reliable voltage generation are critical.
