MAX868EPD is listed in the LED Driver IC range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. Its product description is REGULATED, ADJUSTABLE -2X INVERT. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The MAX868EPD is a regulated, adjustable inverting switching voltage converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates with an input voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V and provides an adjustable output voltage ranging from -11 V to -3.6 V. The device delivers an output current of 30 mA with a typical static current consumption of 30 uA. It functions at a fixed switching frequency of 450 kHz and supports a shutdown feature for power management. The component is housed in a uMAX-10 surface-mount package and is rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C.
Verify the specific suffix EPD indicates the PDIP-14 through-hole package variant, distinct from the EUB+ SMD version. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors as regulatory details may vary by production batch. Ensure the ordering information matches the required lead frame finish and tape/reel or tube packaging specifications for your assembly process.
Select this component when a compact inverting regulator is needed for low-current applications. The 450 kHz frequency allows for smaller passive components compared to lower-frequency alternatives. Consider the thermal performance within the PDIP-14 package if operating near maximum load conditions. Verify that the required negative voltage range falls within the -11 V to -3.6 V specification.
The MAX868 belongs to Maxim Integrated's family of high-efficiency step-down and inverting DC-DC converters. This series is designed for portable electronics where space and power efficiency are critical. The EPD designation specifically refers to the plastic DIP package option, offering compatibility with through-hole manufacturing processes while maintaining the electrical characteristics of the broader MAX868 product line.
