MAX734CSA-T

Overview

The MAX734CSA-T is a precision, low-power voltage regulator IC designed for flash memory applications. It provides a single regulated output and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The device features an enable pin for power management and is housed in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package. It is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Precision regulation suitable for flash memory power requirements
• Low-power consumption design
• Single-output configuration with enable control

Applications

• Flash memory voltage regulation
• Industrial instrumentation systems
• Portable electronic devices requiring stable logic supply

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging if required by assembly equipment. Confirm the 'C' grade temperature range meets system environmental specifications. Check current lifecycle status as availability may be limited or discontinued depending on the manufacturing date code.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated, low-cost regulator for flash memory is needed. Ensure the load current does not exceed the device's thermal dissipation limits in the SOIC-8 package. Verify that the input voltage remains within the specified operating range for stable regulation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated MAX734 family of voltage regulators. These components are specifically engineered to provide stable power supplies for non-volatile memory devices. The series is known for its simplicity and reliability in embedded storage applications.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives such as other MAX734 variants with different temperature grades or packaging options. Verify electrical compatibility before substituting with generic LDO regulators.
