MAX8506ETE+T

Overview

The MAX8506ETE+T is a WCDMA voltage regulator IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features a single output with an adjustable voltage range of 0.4V to 3.4V and accepts an input voltage between 2.6V and 5.5V. The device is housed in a 16-TQFN (4x4) package with an exposed pad, designed for surface mount installation. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for WCDMA converter applications
• Provides a single adjustable output voltage channel
• Utilizes a compact 16-TQFN surface-mount package

Applications

• WCDMA converter systems
• Mobile communication devices requiring regulated power
• Portable electronics utilizing WCDMA technology

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix and manufacturer designation when sourcing, as Analog Devices and Maxim Integrated branding may vary across documentation. Confirm the 16-TQFN package dimensions and thermal pad requirements against your PCB layout specifications. Ensure compatibility with the specified 2.6V to 5.5V input range for your target application circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a dedicated regulator for WCDMA converters. The adjustable output allows flexibility in setting the required voltage level between 0.4V and 3.4V. Consider the 16-TQFN footprint for space-constrained layouts. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the family of voltage regulators optimized for wireless communication standards. It serves as a key power management element in mobile infrastructure and handsets.
