MAX8896EREE+T

Overview

The MAX8896EREE+T is a dual PWM step-down switching regulator housed in a UCSP-16 package. It provides two independent outputs with voltage ranges from 500 mV to 5 V and supports up to 700 mA output current per channel. Operating at a fixed 2 MHz switching frequency, the device functions within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture for simultaneous power conversion
• Compact UCSP-16 footprint for space-constrained designs
• High-frequency operation to minimize passive component size

Applications

• WCDMA Power Amplifier (PA) biasing
• RF power supply regulation
• Portable communication devices

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to discontinuation status. Confirm RoHS compliance documentation matches the specific revision. Validate UCSP-16 package integrity upon receipt. Cross-reference datasheet revisions for any parameter updates prior to final design implementation.

Selection Notes

Evaluate thermal performance requirements given the compact UCSP-16 package. Ensure input voltage sources align with buck converter topology constraints. Verify that the 2 MHz switching frequency does not interfere with sensitive RF circuits in the system. Confirm load current demands remain within the 700 mA limit per channel.
