Frequently Asked Questions
What input voltage range does MAX8855ETJ+T support, and is it compatible with a single-cell Li-Ion battery discharge profile?
MAX8855ETJ+T accepts a 2.25 V to 3.6 V input, which closely matches the discharge window of a single-cell Li-Ion battery (nominally 3.7 V, down to 2.7 V under load cutoff). This makes it a direct fit for battery-powered portable designs where the supply rail tracks cell voltage over its discharge cycle.
How does the 2 MHz switching frequency of MAX8855ETJ+T reduce passive component size compared to a 300 kHz buck converter?
Operating at 2 MHz allows the use of inductors in the 1 µH range and output capacitors under 10 µF, compared to 10–47 µH and larger capacitors needed at 300 kHz. The smaller passives shrink total solution size significantly, critical when fitting dual 5 A power rails into compact handheld PCBs with limited height clearance.
What are the thermal and footprint implications of using the 32-pin LFCSP package for MAX8855ETJ+T in a high-current design?
The 32-pin LFCSP measures 5x5x0.75 mm with an exposed thermal pad that improves heat dissipation at dual 5 A loads. Designers should plan PCB copper pours and vias under the pad to maintain junction temperature within spec, especially when both channels are loaded simultaneously in a 3.3 V to 1.0 V conversion scenario.
How many output channels does MAX8855ETJ+T provide, and can they be configured for different output voltages independently?
MAX8855ETJ+T provides 2 independent synchronous buck channels, each rated at 5 A output current. The output voltages on each channel are set independently via external resistor dividers, enabling separate core and I/O rail voltages — for example, 1.0 V for a processor core and 1.8 V for DDR memory from the same IC.
