MAX8896EREE+

Overview

The MAX8896EREE+ is a dual PWM step-down converter housed in a UCSP-16 package. It provides two independent outputs with voltage ranges from 500 mV to 5 V and output currents up to 700 mA. Operating at a fixed 2 MHz switching frequency, the device supports input voltages suitable for battery-powered applications. The integrated power switches enable efficient DC-to-DC conversion within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual independent PWM step-down channels for separate power rail generation
• Compact UCSP-16 package design optimized for space-constrained mobile devices
• High-frequency operation enabling the use of small external passive components

Applications

• Power supply for WCDMA power amplifiers
• RF power management circuits
• Mobile phone main power distribution

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for end-of-life notifications prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions meet specified humidity sensitivity levels to maintain device integrity during handling and assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Evaluate thermal performance requirements given the compact UCSP-16 footprint. Verify that the required output current does not exceed the 700 mA limit per channel. Consider the 2 MHz switching frequency for electromagnetic interference compatibility and filter component selection relative to system noise constraints.

Part Context
