MAX734ESA

Overview

The MAX734ESA is a switching voltage regulator IC designed for flash memory programming applications. It provides a regulated +12V output with ±5% accuracy and guarantees an output current of 120mA. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Provides a stable regulated +12V output suitable for flash memory programming supplies
• Guarantees sufficient output current capability for demanding programming tasks
• Operates reliably across extended industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Flash memory voltage regulation
• Flash memory programming supply circuits
• Embedded system power management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., +T) against the datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging versus tube quantities. Ensure the operating temperature grade matches the application requirements. Confirm the package width dimensions align with PCB footprint constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated 12V regulator with guaranteed 120mA current is required for flash memory interfaces. Consider the 8-SOIC package size for space-constrained designs. Verify input voltage compatibility with the source supply to ensure efficient operation within the specified thermal limits.

Part Context
