MAX786CAI+T

Overview

The MAX786CAI+T is a dual-output power supply controller manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.6 V to 5.5 V and provides fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 3.45 V, and 3.6 V. The device supports a maximum operating temperature of +70°C and a minimum of 0°C. It is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package suitable for surface mount technology. The component functions as a switching regulator designed for efficient power management applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual-output architecture for simultaneous power rail generation
• Integrated switching regulator topology for high efficiency
• Fixed output voltage options for simplified design implementation

Applications

• Portable electronic devices requiring multiple stable voltage rails
• Battery-powered systems with single-cell lithium-ion inputs
• Embedded control circuits needing compact power management solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official datasheets to ensure compatibility with required output voltages. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer documentation before integration. Check current availability status as distribution may be limited or subject to factory order constraints. Validate package dimensions against PCB footprint requirements during the design phase.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-output solution is required from a low-voltage input source. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified 0°C to +70°C operational temperature range. Verify that the fixed output voltages align with downstream load requirements without additional regulation. Consider the SSOP-28 package size for space-constrained board layouts.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX786 series of dual-output power supply controllers. It is designed for applications requiring efficient step-down conversion from single-cell lithium-ion batteries. The series offers integrated switches and control logic to minimize external component count. It serves as a power management IC for portable electronics and embedded systems.

Replacement Considerations

Check for MAX786 variants with different output voltage configurations or package types. Verify electrical compatibility with existing circuit designs before substitution.
